Apple MacBook Pro 14" M5 Pro (18-core CPU, 20-core GPU), 24GB/2TB — Silver

The higher-binned M5 Pro in the 14-inch chassis: 18 CPU cores rather than 15, and 20 GPU cores rather than 16. Memory bandwidth is unchanged at 307GB/s, so the gain is in parallel throughput — compile times, export queues, and anything that scales with core count rather than with how fast data moves.

Configured with 24 GB of unified memory and a 2 TB SSD, which is the combination for someone who both works on large projects and keeps them on the machine. The Neural Engine remains 16-core, handling on-device machine learning in Final Cut, Photoshop and the system itself.

The 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display runs 3024 × 1964 at 254 ppi with ProMotion to 120 Hz, 1000 nits sustained and 1600 peak. Three Thunderbolt 5 ports, HDMI, SDXC, headphone and MagSafe 3, with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, and a 72.4 Wh battery rated up to 22 hours of video streaming at 1.59 kg. Note: this unit is supplied without a power adapter. The MW2L3 adapter must be purchased separately.
