Apple Teases Upcoming M5 MacBook Pro Launch: 'Something Powerful is Coming'

wait...I was told M chips are dead quite and users hardly ever hear them turning on
Would love to see colors. An orange colored one will be fun. I would buy one. Apple could have at least one fun color for each Pro device. Hopefully that will happen some day.
Wait, "something powerful".
Power... Book...?
There's the Roman numeral V in the image too.
PowerBook G5 confirmed?

If they only teased the MacBook Pro, I predict that Apple will announce a new product each Wednesday for the rest of the month. So MacBook Pro this week, Vision Pro next week and iPad Pro the final week.
A M5 MacBook Pro is the most uninteresting upgrade in a long time.
Just give us the A18 Pro MacBook, preferably with a 14-inch screen. Thanks.

Would like to see a 16" Pro with the base M5 chip. Don't want the power of Pro chip. Just want bigger screen and ProMotion along with the extra ports.
Be interesting to know what the investment to profit ratio is for Apple doing yearly vs a 2 year upgrade cycles as they rarely introduce more than a minor speed bump… Nearly bought an MBP last time but got a $600NZD cash back deal on a 13” M3 MBA midnight 512gb shortly after release. Apple still make the best laptops.
Wow. The same computer with a new chip. How thrilling.
When the brains beneath the surface change, it's not the same computer. We could be about to step into a paradigm shift in mobile computing with the M5.
Most likely not. The only ones who would notice a difference between M4 and M5 are those who should go for a Pro or Max chip anyway.
I mean, it's not a bad thing to get the M5, it's just extremely "incremental".
What is incorrect? No one expects anyting else than a base M5 and of course the base M5 will be less performant than the M4 Pro (maybe apart from single core performance).
Imagine everyone's face when the base M chip becomes the new Pro chip.
The Pro/Max chips being for ultra-level users only.

First off, comparing the base chip vs a Pro chip is not a fair comparison.
second The M5 is already a 10% boost in CPU based on the M5 iPP benchmarks.
A 3.93% difference in single core and 33.33% on multicore.
Based on the M5 iPad Pro leaks, the numbers would be closer.
They could easily make the BTO option available. But then bye bye Mac Studios.
I second this, especially because there was nothing on Tuesday.
Apple usually announces products at 10am Pacific so we'll see what we get today!
Well, I was wrong about that. I prefer a simultaneous announcement like they did it today. I just was thrown off by the way they teased it yesterday. Very cool that the base iPad Pro now has 12GB RAM.
So, when they have improved chips, they should just not bother putting them into computers? Is that what you want?
These are spec bumps and there is a long tradition of spec bump improvements every year or so to keep the machines competitive and provide the best performance for someone who buys the machine today rather than them getting older tech for no good reason.
