Apple has announced new MacBook Pro laptops powered by M5 Pro and M5 Pro Max chips, to replace last year’s M4 Pro and M4 Pro Max versions.

The new high-end MacBooks are available in 14-inch and 16-inch versions and, as rumors predicted, the major change concerns these new latest generation chips. The new MacBook Pro models are identical to their M4 predecessors, but they also get a wireless networking upgrade with Wi-Fi 8 and Bluetooth 6, thanks to Apple’s N1 chip.

Apple says you can expect four times faster AI performance compared to the previous generation MacBook Pro and eight times faster AI performance compared to the M1 chip. The price of the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Pro starts at $2,199, while you will be able to buy a 14-inch with M5 Pro Max starting at $3,599.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Pro, meanwhile, starts at $2,699, while the M5 Pro Max version starts at $3,899. Pre-orders will open from tomorrow March 4, with availability starting March 11.
