It handles Apple Intelligence features in full and does not ask you to compromise on display quality or build quality to reach its price point.

Choose 13-inch or 15-inch?
The 13-inch is the more portable option at 1.24kg and is the better choice if you carry your MacBook to university, between offices or on trips around Oman. The 15-inch offers a noticeably larger canvas for spreadsheets, video editing timelines and design work, and its extra battery rating of up to 20 hours makes it a strong choice if you use your MacBook at a desk for long sessions. Both models share the same M5 chip, camera and port selection, so the decision is primarily about screen size and portability.
MacBook Pro: Uncompromising Power for Professional Work
The MacBook Pro is built for users who need the maximum performance Apple Silicon can deliver and cannot accept throttling under heavy, sustained loads. Available in 14-inch and 16-inch configurations at Sharaf DG Oman, it is powered by the M3, M3 Pro or M3 Max chip and is the right tool for professional video editors, software developers, architects, engineers and music producers.
What sets MacBook Pro apart
- Liquid Retina XDR display: ProMotion up to 120Hz, extreme dynamic range and up to 1,000 nits sustained brightness (1,600 nits peak HDR), significantly beyond the Liquid Retina in the Air.
- Active cooling system: Unlike the fanless Air, the MacBook Pro uses a fan and heat sink to sustain peak performance indefinitely under intensive workloads, critical for long rendering, compiling or simulation tasks.
- M3 Pro and M3 Max chips: More CPU and GPU cores than the base M3, with M3 Max supporting up to 128GB of unified memory for the most demanding professional applications.
- Up to 22 hours of battery life: The highest battery rating of any Mac laptop.
- Extended port selection: Three Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI 2.1, SD card slot and MagSafe 3, providing the full connectivity a professional workstation needs without adaptors.
- Six-speaker sound system with spatial audio: Studio-quality output for music production and audio work.

MacBook Neo vs MacBook Air M5: the key differences
Both models weigh 1.24kg and share the same 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display dimensions. The main difference is the chip: the Neo uses the A18 Pro from the iPhone line, while the Air M5 uses Apple’s Mac-native M5 chip. For everyday tasks, Office, browsing, communication and Apple Intelligence features, both deliver an excellent experience. The M5 has a faster CPU and GPU and supports Thunderbolt 4 versus Thunderbolt 3 on the Neo, which matters if you connect external 4K displays or high-speed storage regularly, or if you do sustained intensive work like software compilation or professional video export.
MacBook Air M5 vs MacBook Pro: the key differences
The MacBook Air M5 is fanless and silent. The MacBook Pro has active cooling that allows it to sustain its peak performance indefinitely, which matters when a task runs for tens of minutes rather than seconds. The Pro also adds a Liquid Retina XDR display with ProMotion 120Hz, a third Thunderbolt port, HDMI and an SD card slot. If you find yourself waiting for exports, renders or builds to finish on a MacBook Air, the Pro’s sustained performance and extra connectivity are worth considering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the latest MacBook available in Oman?
The latest MacBook models available at Sharaf DG Oman are the MacBook Neo (announced March 2026, Apple’s most affordable Mac), the MacBook Air M5 in 13-inch and 15-inch (2025), and the MacBook Pro in 14-inch and 16-inch with M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max chips. All models are stocked at Sharaf DG Oman stores in Muscat and online at oman.sharafdg.com.
What is the MacBook Neo and how is it different from MacBook Air?
The MacBook Neo is Apple’s most affordable Mac, announced in March 2026. It uses the A18 Pro chip from the iPhone 16 Pro line rather than the Mac-specific M-series chip. It shares the same 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display and 1.24kg weight as the MacBook Air 13-inch. For everyday tasks, studying and Apple Intelligence features it performs excellently. The MacBook Air M5 uses the native M5 chip with faster CPU and GPU performance, Thunderbolt 4 ports and is the better choice for users who do sustained intensive work or regularly connect external displays and storage.
Which MacBook should I buy for university in Oman?
For most students in Oman, the MacBook Neo or MacBook Air M5 are the strongest options. Both are ultra-portable at 1.24kg, handle Microsoft Office, video calls, research and light creative work without issue, and support full Apple Intelligence features. The Neo is the more affordable starting point; the Air M5 offers more processing headroom for the life of the device. If your course involves architecture, engineering software, video production or software development, consider stepping up to the MacBook Pro 14-inch.
Does the MacBook Air M5 have a fan?
No. The MacBook Air M5 is completely fanless, meaning it operates in total silence at all times. The M5 chip is efficient enough to handle most tasks without generating excess heat. For sustained heavy workloads that run for long periods (large video exports, compiling software, 3D rendering), the MacBook Pro’s active cooling system allows it to maintain peak performance for longer without any slowdown.
Do MacBooks at Sharaf DG Oman come with an Arabic keyboard?
Yes. All MacBooks sold at Sharaf DG Oman come with a factory-printed Arabic and English keyboard as standard. You can switch between Arabic and English input at any time using the macOS language settings or the keyboard shortcut.
What is the difference between the M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max chips in MacBook Pro?
The base M3 chip is well-suited to most professional tasks. The M3 Pro adds more CPU and GPU cores and supports more unified memory (up to 36GB), making it a strong choice for sustained creative workflows. The M3 Max offers the most cores and the highest unified memory capacity (up to 128GB), designed for the most demanding tasks such as large-scale video production, complex 3D rendering and compiling massive software projects. For most buyers, the M3 Pro configuration offers the best balance of performance and value within the MacBook Pro lineup.
Can I buy a MacBook in installments at Sharaf DG Oman?
Yes. Tabby is available at Sharaf DG Oman checkout for all MacBook models, allowing you to split the purchase into equal interest-free monthly payments over 3, 6 or 12 months. Available online at oman.sharafdg.com and in all Sharaf DG stores in Muscat.
