I had read somewhere that the speakers were the same in the M4 vs M5. You are saying they are not? Has that been confirmed anywhere?
I am saying that I still have both (will be returning the M5 next Monday) and that the M4 is louder. I have no idea if they are the same and tuned for lower volume on the M5, or different, but the volume is clearly different. Apple never said that the M1 was louder than the 2018 or 2020 pro, but it was louder and fuller. The difference between M4 and M5 is not as big, but is clearly there. I have compared them many times and not a sigle time I said they are the same, or I have doubts. I posted a video recently in one of my comments by the way (comparing M1, M2, M4 and M5)
So far I have no reason to return mine. had no reason to max out the speakers so far while watching streams because I don't like my ears bleeding, loud enough at 2/3.
Only thing that bothers me a bit is that this is the first time that i experience some kind of mild pwm sensitivity, was never aware before that I am. but looking at that screen at lower brightness settings for sure strains my eyes a bit. but not enough to return it.
I guess I already found a use case where I benefit from the faster SSD speeds of the 512GB. I use QField for QGIS and my project ist 9gb large because of very large georeferenced tiff aerial images. I'm really impressed how fast those load, almost instant.

i had selected "more space" on initial setup, gone back to standard and now I have no problems with eye strain anymore. so it was not pwm sensitivity, phew

Same reason I went back to standard. Text is sharper as it running at native resolution. I do miss the extra space though.
never knew apple did price matching. I walked into apple expecting to pay full price for my ipad pro m5. nice apple lady googled the m5 and found that it was 10% cheaper elsewhere then gave me the discount without me asking.
For what it’s with, manual adjustment kicks the iPad to 1000 nits in testing: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Apple...hter-slimmer-and-lightning-fast.842302.0.html
Showcasing a smaller bright area goes up to 1600 nits; a full white image was just about 1000 on m4/m5 vs just over 500 on the air
Oh this is interesting. So you actually can manually adjust the M4 Pro to 1000nits? I wonder why the Toms review said it only goes up to 600nits on manual adjustment and to get 1000 nits it must have adaptive brightness on.
I don't believe there is any adjustment to manually set to 1000 nits. I owned the M4 Pro and now the M5 - it can only be triggered by conditions such as external lighting, content, etc.
That's what I thought too. I wonder how the reviewer on that site was able to manually set it to 1000 nits.
I upgraded to the iPP M5 13” from the iPP 11” 2020 and I am delighted with this thing. Initially I tried to go with the 13” IPA M3, but I just couldn’t go backwards from Promotion. It’s lightning fast, the screen is gorgeous and the thinness/weight are wonderful. I keep my devices for years, and I’m going to be gazing happily at this one far into the future.
