Apple Reportedly Aiming to Upgrade the MacBook Pro Twice This Year

I'm one who will buy the M5 Pro MBP when it comes out, assuming it's released in March or sooner. I've been burned buying the 1st gen 'newly designed' Apple products in the past and don't find current screens lacking for work.
I am fairly excited for the Studio Display '2', although I'd be more excited if it were 32 inches.

I disagree. Apple doesn't really wanna keep multiple line ups and OLED iPad Pro is a great example. They will replace 5 years old current MBP just like they did before cause they are now confident with Tandem OLED.

Can’t wait for the redesign MacBook Pro, M1 Max is good but I’ve been waiting for a true upgrade

Oh here we go, I was wondering when we were going to get more of this guessing game BS on Sundays to trickle down to the rest of the tech news the rest of the week - it'd been a while...
Sigh. I can't wait to have to hear this same rehashed crap again everywhere now because the Guesser swung again.

M6 is when I'll probably cave and upgrade from my M1 Max. Just not sure if I'll stick with the base M6 cpu at that point or go for a pro or max with the better memory bandwidth. Getting so expensive.

Same. Im M1 Max with 32gb 2tb. Ready to go to 64gb RAM and I'll stick with the Max chip. Its served me so well.

MacBook Air owners waiting for something new for them.
What about people still on Intel machines? Or even those on M1 machines that are looking to update? It makes no sense to upgrade every gen, or even every other gen these days, but not everyone is running an M3 based machine.
anxious about this refresh pricepoint. it's the one i've been waiting for , but i'm not sure I'm ready to shell out that much money since I don't legitimately need it.
bummed to learn that only the pros pro will get it, and not the "base pro" (14") , which will keep the same design, mini led, and thick edges digging into your palms.
because that'd make the choice between 14 and 16 much harder for me, since the price difference is much lower
and I struggle a lot to make any decision lol

The M6 wouldn't be released until the normal October/November timeframe this year, which is just shy of a 1 year gap and essentially what they did in 2023 with the M2 models in January and M3s in October. Apple has a long history of updating the MBPs annually, and sometimes even twice a year.

Notches and dynamic islands are an instant no-buy. Esp. on a laptop. iPads don't have them and they are smaller.

That whole disaster with Dr. Daystrom and the Enterprise should've put everyone off the M5...
Careful or the M2 Mac Pro will solider on for another year.

I think Apple wants all our money enough to do the M6 Pro/Max redesigned MBP this year. I can feel it. My wallet is trembling and it only does that when death is near.

To everyone running Intel-based laptops, I would strongly recommend upgrading to an Apple Silicon-powered laptop. When I did, everything improved, from the battery life, to the cooler chassis you could now literally rest on your lap, to the superior screen and speakers, and to the processor speed improvements that vastly outpace any Intel chip. And if you bought a butterfly keyboard MacBook, the new magic keyboard on current laptops is far better.
However. MacBook Pros are multi-thousand dollar laptops. I still maintain that once you've upgraded to Apple Silicon, you shouldn't upgrade too often lest you burn a hole in your pocket.

I will not purchase any touchscreen laptop. Even if I don't have to use it. The thought that the touchscreen is there at all is a deal-breaker.
But you said previously that no one needs M5, and my comment was that some people might, specifically those on intel. Then you basically repeated my statement back to me?

Comment's turned into a pretty cool joke but bro's right... want and need are two very different things. Also IMO computers have hit a point where speed gains are pretty marginal outside benchmark settings.
