Should I buy an M5 MacBook Pro or wait for the M5 Pro (or M5 MacBook Air)
These three Macs are very different beasts and the answer depends on what you need. The MacBook Air is a lot cheaper than the MacBook Pro and you do get more for your money, but it also has a set of restrictions due to it's more compact size. When the M5 MacBook Air comes out we think it will probably prove popular. As for the MacBook Pro with the Pro chip, the price will be a lot higher than the M5 model, but if you need the extra power, RAM and GPU capabilities then it's likely to be worth waiting.
Which is better, the M5 MacBook Pro or M4 Pro MacBook Pro
This is likely to confuse a few people. The Pro chip is always better than the non Pro chip. And similarly the Max varient is better than the Pro (it's essentially two Pro chips).
When we run benchmarking tests we expect to see a boost compared to the M4 MacBook Pro, but the M4 Pro and M4 Max chips will still bet them, just not by as much as the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips will when they launch.
Is there a M5 Pro MacBook Pro?
Unfortunately not yet. Apple has only launched the M5 MacBook Pro.
For now the following M4 Pro and M4 Max MacBook Pro models remain.
16-inch MacBook Pro
