Apple MacBook Pro 14 2025 M5

90% Apple 14-inch MacBook Pro M5 review: Predictably magnificent
Source: Hardware Zone EN→zh-CN
As you can see, storage and memory upgrades are pricey. And if you choose to upgrade, you’ll find yourself close to the starting price of an M4 Pro (S$2,749), at which point you’ll start to wonder if you should hold out for the M5 Pro. And speaking of holding out, should you wait for the inevitable M5 MacBook Air? It goes without saying that if you need a laptop urgently, you shouldn’t wait. The 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro is fantastic, and you will be satisfied with it. Word on the street is that the MacBook Air and more powerful variants of the MacBook Pro will not arrive until sometime early next year. But if time is on your side, the question to ask is what you would achieve by waiting. If you need more performance than the M5, then obviously, you’ll need to wait for the M5 Pro or M5 Max versions.

MacBook Pro review: Apple’s most awkward laptop is the first to show off Apple M5
Source: Ars Technica EN→zh-CN
The low-end MacBook Pro has always occupied an odd in-between place in Apple’s lineup, overlapping in a lot of places with the MacBook Air and without the benefit of the much-faster chips that the 15- and 16-inch MacBook Pros could fit. The M5 MacBook Pro carries on that complicated legacy, and even with the M5 there are still lots of people for whom one of the M4 MacBook Airs is just going to be a better fit. But it is a very nice laptop, and if your screen is the most important part of your laptop, this low-end Pro does make a decent case for itself. It’s frustrating that the matte display is a $150 upcharge, but it’s an option you can’t get on an Air, and the improved display panel and faster ProMotion refresh rate make scrolling and animations all look smoother and more fluid than they do on an Air’s screen.

80% I reviewed the Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (M5, 2025), and its focus on AI has left me confused

The Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (M5, 2025) feels like a rather small update over last year’s M4 model, with the bulk of improvements focused on AI performance. Your interest in this product, then, could depend on how interested you are in using artificial intelligence-powered tools. However, while the Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (M5, 2025) might not seem like an essential upgrade for people using M4 and M3 MacBooks, this remains a superb workstation laptop with a stunning screen, thin and light design, and excellent build quality. It would be nice to see Apple get a bit bolder with a design shake-up for future releases, especially when it comes to some of the older technology (Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 6E) that it still uses.

84% I Tested the M5 MacBook Pro 14. Its GPU Performance Boost Is Real
Source: CNet EN→zh-CN
It wasn't the big redesign we were hoping for this time last year, when Apple rolled out its M4 models of the MacBook Pro. In fact, there wasn't a redesign at all. This generation of the 14-inch MacBook Pro is identical to the 2024 model (prices remain unchanged as well) with a single exception -- it incorporates the M5 processor, which debuted this fall. On one hand, my testing shows the chip's upgraded GPU architecture delivers big performance improvements over the M4 in the narrow areas where it applies, namely on-GPU processing for AI (notably image generation) and ray-traced graphics. Those go along with Apple's typical generation-over-generation performance improvements. So, as expected, one of the best-performing consumer CPUs just got better, bringing a top-performing laptop in its wake.
