"Between the M4 chip, increased RAM, improved webcam, and a third Thunderbolt 4 port, the most affordable MacBook Pro was also one of the best deals in Apple's lineup. The M5 sequel is mostly a copy-paste of the same machine - an annual Madden NFL release in laptop form. But instead of a glorified roster update, you get a slightly faster chip and much faster storage, potentially speeding things up when working on big project files and cutting down on time looking at progress bars."
"The screen, design, ports, speakers, webcam, and just about everything in between is unchanged from the M4 model. If you bought one of those, congratulations - keep living your life with your very good laptop. There's no cause for FOMO with the M5. But if you're using a much older laptop and looking for a powerful new machine that doesn't cost a fortune, the entry-level MacBook Pro continues to reign supreme. And this year's model is ever so slightly better than before."
Last year's entry-level MacBook Pro marked an impressive return to form for Apple's Pro laptop, offering the M4 chip, increased RAM, an improved webcam, and a third Thunderbolt 4 port that made it one of the best values in the lineup. The M5 model retains the same screen, design, ports, speakers, webcam, dimensions, and weight while delivering a slightly faster chip and much faster storage that can speed work on large project files and reduce time spent watching progress bars. No new color options are offered. The M5 is an incremental upgrade best suited for users with older laptops; M4 owners need not upgrade.
