MacBook Pro M5 review: serious power, still long battery life
The MacBook Pro M5 sets a new performance bar with more storage, new chips, and plenty of options, but now features two-tier specs depending on the processor.

The latest MacBook Pro comes in two screen sizes and a large range of chip and configuration options. The 14in version starts with the M5 chip, costing £1,699 (€1,899/$1,699/A$2,699), and then jumps to the more powerful M5 Pro from £2,199 (€2,499/$2,199/A$3,499) before climbing further for the 16in version or the top M5 Max chip.
A pricey machine for professional workloads, the MacBook Pro M5 promises to deliver serious power while maintaining long battery life. With more storage and new chips, this laptop is sure to impress professionals and heavy users.
