Apple MacBook Pro, 14-inch (M5)
Apple iPad Pro, 11-inch (M5)
Apple iPad Pro, 13-inch (M5)
Just a month after Apple released its new iPhone and Apple Watch lineup, it has unveiled the new bombshell M5 chip — and with it, four new products.
The M5 chip features a 10-core CPU and GPU with a Neural Accelerator in every GPU core and is said to deliver 3.5 times faster AI performance than the M4 chip. If it wasn’t clear before, Apple is going all in on AI. The powerful new chip can be found in a new 14-inch MacBook Pro, 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro, and Vision Pro.
Though the new products won’t start shipping until next week, you can be among the first to secure the goods by pre-ordering. The MacBook Pro and iPad Pros are already available for pre-order at Amazon as of Oct. 16 (you’ll have to head to the Apple Store to pre-order the Vision Pro). We’ve rounded up the details for your below.
14-inch M5 MacBook Pro
The M5 MacBook Pro is a whole lot like its predecessor. It comes with the same 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display, 24-hour battery life, black and silver color options, 12MP Center Stage camera, and six-speaker sound system. It’s only big upgrade is, of course, the super-powered M5 chip, which is said to offer 1.6x faster graphics, and 2x faster SSD speeds compared to the M4. It can also be configured with up to 4TB of storage, while the previous generation only offered a max of 1TB.
The M5 MacBook Pro base model comes with a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage for a starting price of $1,599. Pre-orders are open at Amazon and they’ll start shipping on Oct. 22.

It comes in 11-inch and 13-inch options in Space Black and Silver finishes and gives users the option to upgrade storage up to 2TB and RAM up to 16GB.
