You can get the 18-core CPU, 20-core GPU at 24, 48, or 64 gigs RAM, which is new.
That was what forced my hand on the Max in the past, is that I always wanted 64 gigs RAM, and now I wouldn't have to, to both of your points earlier.
John Gruber pointed out, this means the price for a MacBook Pro with 64 gigs of RAM, if that's your main concern, hello, dropped by $800 year over year.
Last year, you needed to buy one of the high-end M4 Max chips to get the 64 gigs.
That's very good news.
However, it comes with an SSD of one, two, or four terabytes, no half terabyte option, which means for me and my fancy lad eight terabytes, I'm back in the M5 Max.
And then the M5 Max, you can do with the 32-core, you get 36GB of RAM and you will like it.
For the 40-core, you can do 4864 or 128GB of RAM.
SSD in 2, 4, or 8TB...
And then between the two of them, all of them share the same screen, which is unchanged for the M4 Pro and Max.
1,000 nits, up to 1,600 peak on HDR, 120 hertz, nanotexture is $150.
It has the N1 with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.
Size and weight is unchanged, port's unchanged.
Uh, battery is largely unchanged, although slightly different, uh, amounts of video streaming and wireless web, which is their, you know, ridiculous, uh, metrics.
And then the microphone quotes voice isolation and wide spectrum microphone modes for enhanced voice clarity in audio and video calls.
The environment story is largely the same as the M4 Pro and Max.
However, new is that it's made with 45% recycled content and manufactured, again, with 50% renewable electricity.
The price for the M5 Pro and M5 Max starts at $1,700 for the 14-inch and $2,700 for the 16-inch.
