Apple MacBook Pro 16" M5 Pro (18-core CPU, 20-core GPU), 48GB/1TB — Space Black

The 48 GB M5 Pro configuration in Space Black. Doubling unified memory from the 24 GB base is the single upgrade that changes what the machine can hold open at once — on Apple Silicon the CPU, GPU and Neural Engine all draw from the same pool, so it governs project size rather than just multitasking comfort.

The silicon is the M5 Pro: an 18-core CPU of six super cores and twelve performance cores, a 20-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine, 307GB/s of memory bandwidth, and a 1 TB SSD. It is the configuration to specify for 4K and 6K editing, large composites, or running several development environments and virtual machines side by side.

The 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR panel runs 3456 × 2234 with ProMotion to 120 Hz, 1000 nits sustained and 1600 peak. Ports are three Thunderbolt 5, HDMI, SDXC, headphone and MagSafe 3, with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, and the 100 Wh battery is rated up to 24 hours of video streaming. Note: this unit is supplied without a power adapter. The MW2L3 adapter must be purchased separately.
