The M5 Pro Max is an instant buy for me. Will be the last of a truly great generation of MBPs (thinness, butterfly keyboards, and OLED be cursed!)
M5 Pro Max? What is that? 🤣
And what do you have against OLED displays? Genuinely curious there. Are burn-in and/or longevity issues still a thing with OLED? I'm sure some will accept it as a cost of having a better quality display. The display is already good enough for me, and I use it with a bigger monitor most of the time anyway.

You get those yummy speakers and MiniLED-display, though. As well as access to custom colorspaces and HDR while in reference mode on Sidecar (yes this is locked behind only the "Pro" Macs for some reason!)

The screen is a major upgrade for anyone doing photo/video. Speakers are nice. The other upgrades are active cooling for better extended performance and more ports.
