“It’ll be 500% faster than the last Intel MacBook.”Here's the EXCLUSIVE scoop: The ALL NEW M5 MacBook Pro is the BEST, MOST POWERFUL M-series laptop that Apple has ever released!

Not for nothing but there were Gulfstream G-III's and G-IV's before the G-V
But was there a Gulfstream G-III Ultra?Not for nothing but there were Gulfstream G-III's and G-IV's before the G-V
Hahaha. You know what, that would make me tempted to sell my m2 macbook air. An orange macbook pro would be epic.Cosmic orange MacBook Pro !
Cmon. Let the colours of Apple in the late 90s bloom again.
I know it will just be tasteful muted metallic colours as always.
But I can dream.
Coming from M2 MBP and 96 GB RAM I have no need to upgrade, but if I did have a need it would not be to get "thinner OLED design." I might upgrade to get nano-texture display and the improved brightness, but thin means nothing to me.If rumors are true then no point upgrading until next year with thinner OLED design unless absolutely necessary
"I am Nomad. You are obsolete"Well, any die hard Trek fan can tell you that M5 is 'The Ultimate Computer.'
Tech improves, get over it. Your M4 Pro [whatever that is] will not be "completely obsolete."I hope this does not make the M4 Pro I got last month completely obsolete.
True but the all time best application for the touch bar was this, hands down:Touch bar would've been better received had it been an addition to, instead of replacing, the function row. There's enough space for it above the keyboard
Dont install Tahoe yet.Same. And it is still not showing any signs of giving up. It's a workhorse!
Batch generating 1:1 previews in Lightroom takes twice as long on my M4 iMac compared to my M1 Pro MBP, despite having twice the RAM. Maybe there is some other explanation going on, but this is consistent and repeatable. This process takes near 100% of all CPU cores.At what? You're dusting the M1 Pro in single and multicore. M1 Pro has a HW video encoder on it. Memory bandwidth is comparable. M1 Pro has a little more graphics oomph but it's not huge. What could be slower?
Could be as simple as which chips they have in bigger supply. They make the M5 for the iPad pro as well. They may now have an increasing supply of M5 chips and less of the M4. Since the rest of the MacBook pro design seems the same it's just an easy chip swap. Then they'll wait for the M6 a year later for the _real_ upgrade.Why bother releasing a base M5 without the Pro and MAX. Between not releasing am M4 Ultra and releasing a M5 without a Pro or Ultra it makes it seem like they are stuck at the M4 Max.
Yeah, but not until the M5 variant of the FTL processors...Well, any die hard Trek fan can tell you that M5 is 'The Ultimate Computer.'
Sad, but true. The TouchBar was a great idea, but so poorly implemented. Should never have replaced the function row and it should have had at least the same height as the key row in front of it. Apple should have created a better system for developers to integrate. Apple couldn't even be bothered to properly implement TouchBar support in their own apps.True but the all time best application for the touch bar was this, hands down:
Back when cars were stylish.If people talk about M5's, I'm thinking of this:

Apple fans aren't easy to cool down or keep quiet, especially when there's an event or press release coming.The one thing that frustrates me about the M4 MacBook Pro range, based on all the YouTube reviews I’ve watched which seem pretty much unanimous in their conclusions, is that despite having lower performance the basic M4 model has higher fan noise under load vs the M4 Pro version because the latter has a dual fan cooling system so the fans can spin at lower speeds vs the single fan in the non-Pro version.
I really value a quiet working environment so for me the interest in paying a premium to go with M4 Pro vs non-Pro M4 is not only for that extra performance (that I accept I probably don’t need) but also for the quieter fans. I’d love it if Apple went to a dual fan cooling setup across all of its MacBook Pro M5 range.
