"The new 14-inch MacBook Pro can be kitted out with either an M5 Pro or M5 Max. The Pro option for the chip boasts a CPU with 15 or 18 CPU cores and 16 or 20 GPU cores. For the M5 Max, users will have 18 CPU cores along with 32 or 40 GPU cores. The base model with an M5 Pro has either 24 or 48GB of RAM and now starts with 1TB of storage, up from 512GB as was standard before."
"Perhaps most significantly, Apple has raised prices on its entire MacBook Pro lineup. The 14-inch M5 model previously started at $1,599; it's now priced at $1,699. At least you're getting something for that cash, as Apple has doubled its base storage to 1TB."
"It's a little unusual for these heavy-duty upgrades to Apple's MacBook Pros to be announced so much later from the news of its latest silicon updates. The company debuted the M5 chip last fall as usual, but spent several months before it revealed these major hardware additions for housing it."
Apple announced MacBook Pro models featuring M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, available in 14-inch and 16-inch configurations. The M5 Pro offers 15 or 18 CPU cores with 16 or 20 GPU cores, while the M5 Max provides 18 CPU cores with 32 or 40 GPU cores. Base storage doubled to 1TB across all models. Pricing increased significantly: the 14-inch M5 Pro starts at $2,199 (up from $1,999), and the 16-inch M5 Pro begins at $2,699 (up from $2,499). Pre-orders open March 4 with March 11 shipping. The announcement came several months after the M5 chip's fall debut, representing an unusually delayed hardware refresh cycle.
