Apple is refreshing its 14-inch MacBook Pro with a new processor. Announced this morning via press release, the new entry-level MacBook Pro will now feature a new M5 chip, faster storage, and a claimed 24 hours of battery life. The price still starts at $1,599 for an M5 chip with 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, 16GB of memory, and a 512GB SSD. Preorders are available now, with availability expected October 22nd.
Last year, Apple’s lower-cost Pro laptop saw a nice revision with the M4 chip, the addition of a third USB-C / Thunderbolt 4 port, and the option for an anti-glare display. It proved a big quality-of-life improvement over the M3 generation before it, and became one of my personal favorites for students and content creation.
