Apple launches MacBook Air and Pro
Digest more
Apple's updated M5 Max 16-inch MacBook Pro can cost you as much as $7,349. Fortunately, unified memory upgrade tier prices are the same as last year, even as RAM prices skyrocket.
Apple on Tuesday announced new MacBook Pro models that feature the M5 Pro and M5 Max, high-end chips that replace the M4 Pro and M4 Max. The M5 Pro and M5 Max offer significantly boosted performance over the base M5 chip in the 14-inch MacBook Pro that was released in October, along with a few surprises.
Now, there are two GPU cores to consider in the above comparison. In both baseline models for the M4 and M5 MacBook Air, you get a processor with a 10-core CPU and 8-core GPU. And when you added the $200 upgrade for the 512GB SSD on the M4 model, it also added the slightly upgraded M4 chip with the 10-core GPU.
