Should I buy the 13" MacBook Air M5 (24GB/512GB) for ₹1,73,900 (1,819$)mainly for gaming + coding + AI?
I’m considering buying this exact configuration:
13" MacBook Air — M5 10-core CPU / 10-core GPU 24GB unified memory 512GB SSD Wi-Fi 7 / Thunderbolt 4 Price: ₹1,73,900 (1,819$)
My main use case would be a mix of gaming, coding and AI-related work.
For gaming, I’d like to play games such as ARK, Dying Light 1/2/The beast, Resident Evil games, Cyberpunk 2077, Ghost of Tsushima, GTA V, and other similar AAA games.
Ideally, I'm looking for around 40–60 FPS on medium-to-high settings, depending on the game. I don't expect every game to hit 60 FPS, but I'd like to know whether this machine can realistically deliver that kind of performance in the games I'm interested in.
For coding, I’ll be using it normally for development/programming, and I’m also interested in doing AI/ML-related work. The 24GB unified memory is one of the reasons I'm considering this configuration.
I'm particularly interested in hearing from people who actually own this exact M5 24GB/512GB model and have tried gaming on it
