Backed by over 150GB/s of memory bandwidth, the 14” MacBook Pro easily supports large data sets, 3D assets, and on-device machine learning with minimal power draw.

Apple also continues to lead in on-device privacy keeping AI tasks, personal data, and generative models securely processed without ever leaving your Mac.

What Do You Get with the New MacBook Pro?

Intelligent Performance with Apple Intelligence

Apple Intelligence comes to life in the new MacBook Pro, where hardware and software combine to create a faster, more fluid, and more private AI experience. Built into macOS Tahoe, Apple Intelligence enhances everyday workflows with smarter suggestions, real-time voice and visual understanding, and seamless task automation.

Thanks to the M5 chip’s architecture, apps like Draw Things and LM Studio now run complex LLMs and diffusion models more efficiently, making text-to-image generation, transcription, and AI-enhanced media editing more responsive than ever. Developers and power users will appreciate the ability to integrate Apple Intelligence directly into third-party workflows, unlocking new levels of creativity and productivity on-device.

Stunning Visuals with the Nano-Texture Liquid Retina XDR Display

The 14-inch MacBook Pro continues to lead in display technology, featuring a Liquid Retina XDR display with an optional nano-texture glass finish that minimizes glare without sacrificing clarity. With 1600 nits peak HDR brightness, ProMotion 120Hz refresh rate, and ultra-wide color accuracy, this display is ideal for video editors, designers, and gamers alike.

Whether you're fine-tuning contrast in HDR footage or reviewing detailed illustrations, the MacBook Pro’s screen delivers true blacks, lifelike hues, and exceptional sharpness, even in challenging lighting environments.

Storage, Memory, and Connectivity That Keep Up

With SSD performance up to 2x faster than previous models, file transfers, media imports, and LLM loading times are significantly improved. Professionals can configure their systems with up to 4TB of internal storage, while 150GB/s memory bandwidth ensures zero-lag multitasking even under heavy loads.

Connectivity options remain robust and flexible, including MagSafe charging, Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, USB-C, and an SDXC card slot. Higher-end configurations also support Thunderbolt 5, offering even faster data transfers and more external display compatibility for studio-level workflows.

Pro-Quality Camera and Audio Experience

The built-in 12MP Center Stage camera keeps you centered during calls, even as you move. Paired with studio-grade microphones and a six-speaker sound system supporting Spatial Audio, this MacBook Pro delivers immersive sound and professional video conferencing quality, perfect for content creation, virtual meetings, and streaming alike.

Battery Life That Keeps You Going

Despite its increased power, the M5 chip enables the 14-inch MacBook Pro to deliver up to 24 hours of battery life, an incredible achievement for a device capable of running large-scale AI and creative applications. Users upgrading from Intel or M1 systems will see significant gains, with as much as 14 hours of added usage and no loss in performance whether plugged in or on battery.

And with fast-charging support, the device reaches 50% charge in just 30 minutes, ideal for professionals who need to stay mobile.

Key Differences from the M4 Series

While the M4 chip set new standards for performance and efficiency, the M5 chip represents a sharper pivot into the AI-first computing era. Compared to the previous generation, the M5 delivers:

• Up to 3.5x faster AI performance, driven by Neural Accelerators embedded in every GPU core
• Up to 1.6x faster GPU rendering, enabling higher frame rates in games and accelerated performance in 3D apps like Blender
• Up to 20% faster CPU multithreaded performance, ideal for workflows such as code compiling and media encoding
• Up to 2x faster SSD read/write speeds, reducing project load and export times
• Expanded support for Apple Intelligence, including features like Live Translation, on-device LLMs, and intelligent Shortcuts

Combined with macOS Tahoe and new display enhancements, these improvements make the M5 MacBook Pro a compelling evolution for both current and new Mac users whether you’re upgrading from M1, switching from Intel, or diving into on-device AI workflows for the first time.

Smarter Software with macOS Tahoe

macOS Tahoe takes advantage of the M5 chip’s capabilities with thoughtful updates to the user experience. Spotlight is faster and more actionable, offering immediate shortcuts for search-related tasks. Live Activities from iPhone allow you to stay updated in real time, while the transparent menu bar and Liquid Glass UI make the display feel more immersive.

Enhanced personalization features let users fine-tune the Control Center, widgets, app icons, and folder colors. Meanwhile, system-wide AI integrations like Smart Reply in Mail, face and object recognition in Photos, and intelligent Siri responses are all processed securely on-device.

Designed for a Sustainable Future

Apple continues to prioritize sustainability in every step of MacBook production. The new 14-inch MacBook Pro is made with 45% recycled content, including:

• 100% recycled aluminum in the enclosure
• 100% recycled rare earth elements in all magnets
• 100% recycled cobalt in the battery

Manufacturing uses 55% renewable electricity, and the device ships in 100% fiber-based packaging. Combined with Apple’s long-term software support and industry-leading energy efficiency, this MacBook Pro is built to last responsibly.
