Apple MacBook Pro 14" M5 (10-core CPU, 10-core GPU), 24GB/1TB — Space Black

The M5 MacBook Pro with unified memory raised to 24 GB. Memory is the upgrade worth paying for on Apple Silicon, because CPU, GPU and Neural Engine all draw from the same pool — so it governs how much you can hold open at once, and unlike a PC it cannot be added later.

The chip is a 10-core M5 with four super cores and six efficiency cores, a 10-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine and 153GB/s of bandwidth, with a 1 TB SSD. For anyone running Lightroom and Photoshop together, or a browser full of tabs alongside a video timeline, 24 GB is the point where the machine stops thinking about memory.

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 4 ports, HDMI, SDXC, headphone and MagSafe 3, with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, and a 72.4 Wh battery rated up to 24 hours of video streaming at 1.55 kg. Note: this unit is supplied without a power adapter. The MXN53 adapter must be purchased separately.
