Midnight, Sky Blue, & Starlight. These colors all fade over time, except the silver.
I have 4 sky blue in my family. They're all the same as when we bought them. The one our teenager owns has some scratches (she really throws it around), but the color actually hides those well too.

It is also this price at Costco, for those who are members and prefer Costco. AppleCare is $160 thru Costco.

Yes. I did this exact upgrade. MBP 14 M1Pro 16GB to MBA 13 M5 16GB and it great: thinner, lighter, faster app loads, faster llama.cpp and ollama TTFT and TPS, better at games.
MBA screen is def worse color and brightness. But that's the trade off we make.

A lot faster than a M1 Pro. My m1 pro screen died so instead of taking the credit card insurance money and repair it, I'm going to get this M5 and use the m1 pro as a desktop

I was able to price match my March 22nd order of $1049 for $949 and the $50 Best Buy gift card for buying a laptop over $500 just hit my account last week

Thanks. Picked one up. If you have the Amazon credit card and choose Amazon day delivery, you get 6% cash back. More than Apple.
