Macbook Pro with M5 processor announced: Here are the features and price

Ersin Kılıç / The new model is almost identical in design to last year's M4 MacBook Pro . It also features a mini-LED-based Liquid Retina XDR display, a notch, and the now-standard Magic Keyboard design. For those hoping for an OLED display, hopes are now pinned on later models.

The M5 chip, meanwhile, features a completely new architecture. According to Apple , this processor focuses specifically on AI and graphics performance. The chip's new GPUs, each equipped with a neural accelerator, promise 3.5 times better AI performance than the M4. On the graphics front, the 10-core GPU is reportedly 1.6 times faster than the M4. Professionals performing video editing, code compilation, or long-term rendering will particularly notice this difference.

The new GPU also features an improved ray tracing engine, which should deliver more realistic lighting effects in 3D apps and games. Apple also says the GPU optimizes gaming performance with improved shader cores. Storage speeds have also been boosted: SSD transfer speeds have been increased, and SSD options up to 4TB are now available.

Apple claims that this new MacBook Pro can offer up to 24 hours of battery life. Of course, this figure is based on video playback tests and will be thoroughly tested once the device is released. In reality, even around 18 hours of use would be quite impressive. Furthermore, with MagSafe fast charging support, the device can charge to 50% in just 30 minutes.

Macbook Pro M5 price announced

Prices for the MacBook Pro M5 model start at 94,999 TL for the 14-inch version and 139,999 TL for the 16-inch version. Of course, prices increase depending on storage and memory.

The new MacBook comes pre-installed with macOS 26 "Tahoe." This version introduces Apple's "Liquid Glass" design language and a revamped Spotlight search experience. With this model, Apple replaces the M4-based MacBook Pro. However, models with the more powerful M5 Pro and M5 Max chips are expected in 2026.

Reliable sources say that Apple plans to connect the GPU and CPU in these new chips with an independent bridge structure, much like Intel's new Panther Lake architecture, aiming to make the GPU larger. This suggests Apple intends to significantly increase gaming performance in the coming years.
