Apple Announces New 14-Inch MacBook Pro With M5 Chip

Ayo so you will always plug your camera with a cable to get your photos...
Anyways just to give you an idea... if we compare this MacBook Pro to the 512gb MacBook Air... The difference is only 400 USD so like 350 euros AND NOT 700 !!!
seems less extreme in the US but here the 10core/10core 512GB Air is 1350 Eur, so the difference is still 450 Eur or 520 USD. It just seems so off considering what else you could get for that but I get it, the pricing isn't designed for consistency but for extracting the max willingness to pay.

My M1 Pro 14 inch is still going strong but might upgrade in a year depending on what is out at that time.
M5 Pro and M5 Max configurations will offer more memory when they release early next year.
Different SoCs for different markets with different memory needs. M5 Pro and M5 Max will offer more memory than M5.
The M5 Pro and M5 Max are using a new multi-chiplet design that TSMC is currently working to scale production to the levels Apple needs for the MBP. Expectation is Pro and Max configurations will be available in Q1 2026 when TSMC gets the yields to the required levels.
The 16" models are only offered in Pro and Max configurations so it will ship when those SoCs are ready early next year.
I don't get it. What's the point of this update? Why not wait until they have the whole M5 line up and do it right? The M4 Pro is better than the M5. The 16" gets nothing. That's ridiculous.
Pulls buyers forward in the cycle when they stagger like this.
Good for Apple -- mostly sucks for everyone else.
Apple is a financial engineering company, above all else, at this point.
This is not an accident.
This is Tim Cook.
M5 is ready now and the holidays are coming so they want it out there for people looking to upgrade older Apple Silicon Pro SoC model MBPs or buying their first one.
M5 Pro and M5 Max are a new design compared to the previous families and TSMC is still getting up to speed on meeting the necessary yields for Apple's needs.
It is very interesting that it comes with a Thunderbolt 4 port, given it is said to run a 5k or 6K screen with a faster refresh rate then 60HZ needs a faster port like Thunderbolt 5. So I guess this may not work with Apples new displays that are rumoured? Or the new displays won't have 120hz?
Depends very much what you’re doing with it? My m2 Air absolutely smoked my top of the range maxxed out Macbook pro i9 at pretty much everything (*well, everything I threw at it and that included heavy ML workloads, Logic pro, Video editing). Perhaps there is some floating point specific stuff that doesn’t run on the GPU that would have been close 🤷?
1350 euros? YO it's like 1030 euro in usa... + I think there is less taxes to pay in usa than Europe !
Personally, I think that Apple should limit the base chips, like the M5 here, to Mac Minis, MacBook Air and perhaps iMacs.
MacBook Pros should start with at the very least, a Mx Pro chip.
That said, I wonder if they will update the Mac Mini soon or we will have to wait another 6 months.
Off topic, but any idea how is this done on a Mac (red screen)?

When I bought my 14" MacBook Pro, I bought the M1 Pro model because that was the cheapest Apple offered. I did not need the extra CPU or GPU cores, but I had no choice to pay for them because I wanted the MiniLED ProMotion display.
If I bought a 14" MacBook Pro today, I would be happy with the M5 and saving $400 over the M5 Pro.
This post implies choosing a charger is part of the standard purchase process...no need to add RAM nano etc.
I think this is a good move by Apple, I have so many chargers I would be glad not to get another one (providing the price reflects that!) same with phones.
Prices include taxes in Europe. Prices don’t in USA.
Nope, me is smart!
M1 is just overacted, the log in is slower, Music is garbage i cant see the light-grey type on Tahoe as a human should, the safari launch is slower, the unified memory is off by 10GB just using the computer, the top menu is transparent as that overlaps the program's menu thanks to Liquor Glass and the laptop gets hot since Tims decided not to place a fan inside these M1 MBA.
so not user error..

It may imply that, but it's not true.
The fact the options are greyed out shows they're just there to taunt you. Unless you customise the order, they stay greyed out and remain unselectable.
Yup. The M3 Base was also upgraded to 512 when the Airs were upgraded. The m4 launched with 512GB as the base.
