Apple is having a big week. The company is not attending the Mobile World Congress, but has decided to talk about it this week. Yesterday he presented the iPhone 17e and today they were playing the laptops. If last year they launched the MacBook Pro with an M5 processor, it was clear that it was our turn to see the older brothers.
Next, we go with all the details of the new MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max. Some beasts with eight times more AI performance (but with immense fine print). First of all, the technical sheet of the new laptops.

Identical on the outside
We said it in analysis of the MacBook Pro with M5: Apple is one of the few companies that can afford to launch a generation without it being noticed. With the iPhone it is something that was set in stone with the notch, now with the ‘Dynamic Island’ and with the MacBook the same thing is happening.
They made the change by introducing the notch and giving us connection ports again and, since then, the changes have been more internal than external. In this sense, the new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro are no exception.
