1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,600
I've been covering a lot of laptops lately, but for the most part, they've

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:11,880
been pretty Windows-focused. And in fact, I have spent perhaps an embarrassingly small amount of time on

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:16,640
the Mac ecosystem. My partner has a MacBook. I've done a couple of videos a

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:22,400
few years back on Mac gaming, but I've really not spent any time living with a

5
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:26,560
MacBook, especially not a MacBook Pro. So, today

6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:31,760
we're taking a look at the MacBook Pro M5 Pro.

7
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:36,880
Wow. They're such nice laptops. Like, I get it. I get it. Apple cares so much

8
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,640
about the feel of the laptop, perhaps too much, but you know, when you're

9
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:46,320
right, you're right. It just feels so sturdy. It's heavy, but it's like it's rigid, you know? And it comes with a

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:49,840
more closely color-matched cable,

11
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:52,080
MagSafe and USBC, and then your usual

12
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:56,160
stuff, plus your really mediocre Honestly, this is something they need to

13
00:00:53,400 --> 00:01:00,200
redesign, is the charger. It's huge. I've I've I've always hated the wall

14
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:03,040
wart approach. I am Okay, why isn't it black?

15
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:07,520
You did this, why didn't you do this? You know what? I actually have a question for the audience. Would you

16
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:12,000
prefer if all of your laptop chargers were bricks that plugged into the wall,

17
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:15,600
or do you like the cable to a loose power brick to a USB? This is going to

18
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,920
block some other stuff for me, and I hate that. Also, it falls out. I would

19
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:23,600
love to have it be grounded just to have better grip.

20
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,360
Honestly, it's Do you know? Apple, I hate you. You know what else I hate? The

21
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:31,080
fact that this doesn't light up anymore. They need to bring that back. I think that they should 100% bring back the

22
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:35,120
light up logo. If they do that, I think they would like legit increase their

23
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:38,400
sales by like 5 to 10%. Like, make the Air The Air doesn't come with the light

24
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:41,040
up one, just the Pros. People are going to buy the Pros just cuz they light up.

25
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,440
But you know, because the back doesn't light up, I guess that's the perfect opportunity for us to take a look at a

26
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:51,400
dbrand skin from our sponsor dbrand. Whoa, they got the retro look. Do I have

27
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:56,880
to apply this? And this is their 1984 space black skin. And it's got that

28
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:59,680
classic Apple logo, except for it's just a little different. This skin is

29
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:04,000
designed to remind you of a simpler time when computer companies made computers

30
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:07,479
before all this AI, metaverse, and NFT, and web 3.0 nonsense. If you know

31
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:11,600
somebody who's still on web 3.0, you need to dump them. That's We're on like

32
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,920
web 4.0, okay? We're like way ahead. >> Web 3 people are people, too. No,

33
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:18,440
they're not. Wow. That looks amazing. There are eight

34
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,400
different colorways, one for pretty much every modern MacBook color, and we've got the space black one here. But,

35
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:27,959
they've also got colorways for your space gray, your silver, your starlight, your midnight, your indigo, blush, or

36
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:32,080
citrus MacBook as well. They support both new and old MacBooks, 27 models in

37
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:36,520
total. So, if you want Dbrand to make your MacBook look like it was produced

38
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,760
in 1984, head on over to shortlinus.com.

39
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:42,080
That looks pretty slick, and it is picking up way fewer fingerprints than

40
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:45,400
the usual aluminum on these MacBooks. So, that's pretty sick. Speaking of

41
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:49,440
aluminum, what do we find on the aluminum body of this MacBook? We got a

42
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:54,000
MagSafe charger, two Thunderbolt 5 ports, a combo audio jack, and on the

43
00:02:51,680 --> 00:03:00,959
other side we get one more Thunderbolt 5 port, an HDMI 2.1 port, and a UHS-II SD

44
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:08,160
card reader. That's a fast one. The speedy. I still would love to see one

45
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:10,360
USB-A port or one more USB-C port on any

46
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:14,160
MacBook, please. It's just the harsh truth. Most people got one USB-A device.

47
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:18,080
But, the good news is that Apple is kind of the king of trackpads, and this one

48
00:03:16,239 --> 00:03:22,040
hopefully has a nice new trackpad. Honestly, I know this is a 14-in laptop.

49
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:27,160
It feels like everyone else is like overcompensated on the size of trackpads

50
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:31,120
these days, cuz this kind of feels like normal size. Cuz trackpads used to be

51
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:35,239
like kind of like a 3-in by like 2-in thing, and now they're much bigger

52
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:40,080
because people actually want to use them. And Apple led the way, but it just

53
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:44,840
feels so modest on here. We got the typical MacBook Pro keyboard with pretty

54
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:47,760
low travel, but has a nice clickety-clackety. I've always found

55
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,120
that the MacBook keyboards [music] are pretty nice, obviously excluding the time where they had the butterfly

56
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:56,600
switches that were breaking all the time. At the top right corner, we get our touch ID. Of course, you get the

57
00:03:54,360 --> 00:04:01,800
usual backlit keys as well as the scrunched up arrow keys. And I just You

58
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:05,560
got the space. Just listen, every laptop manufacturer, just do this.

59
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:09,520
And then give your full-height keys, and then you get two bonus keys. You can put whatever you want here. One key for

60
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:13,160
hopes and one for dreams. [music] Yeah, yeah, we need those in a time like

61
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:17,840
this. On the sides, we have the location of the often noted to be excellent

62
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:21,720
MacBook speakers. And we have still the annoying, stupid cutout. They don't have

63
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:24,880
Face ID on these, do they? Mhm. That's so stupid. Oh my god. I No

64
00:04:23,967 --> 00:04:30,000
[snorts] one needs to watch another crash out over this idiotic spot. If it had Face ID, I could forgive a lot. It

65
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:34,680
just the fact that it doesn't. I have not spent any time on Macs since they

66
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:37,919
added liquid glass. Maybe this is just cuz I've been conditioned from like

67
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:43,880
Windows Vista and Windows 7 with the arrow look. I think it fits a lot better

68
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,919
on the desktop than it does on mobile. But maybe that's just cuz they're a

69
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:50,640
little bit less obtrusive. Like look at the settings menu. They got They finally

70
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:53,960
got Windows Snap. Silent, man. Ain't nothing going on down there. Oh,

71
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:57,919
so the display, it's still the same high-quality display found on the

72
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:02,760
MacBook Pro M4, [music] which means that it is also still a mini

73
00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:07,360
LED display. But you get a 120 Hz variable refresh rate, and it's got

74
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:11,360
1,600 nits of peak brightness and HDR on this display, which I'm yet to see in an

75
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:15,120
OLED screen laptop. Though, I do hope that we'll be seeing an OLED MacBook

76
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:18,640
screen soon. But because of how nice this mini LED display looks, I can see

77
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:22,240
why they haven't ditched it. It's still really, really good. And also like early

78
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:27,760
OLED, you have all the color fringing. If you want a few more details on this display, go check out our video on the

79
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:31,240
MacBook Pro M4, where we took a look at basically the identical display and did

80
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,240
way more testing on it. What the hell was that? Did you see Ew.

81
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,880
And like why did it slide to the side? Like oh. Cuz now it's a full new

82
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:42,320
desktop, so it slides over. Yeah, I know. It's stupid. I should make sure to

83
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:46,680
acknowledge that just cuz it isn't how I'm used to it >> [music]

84
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:48,120
>> doesn't mean it's inherently bad.

85
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:51,480
I can do it that way. See, this is what I was wanting. Cuz then I want cuz I'll

86
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:55,400
want like I don't know, games. I want this to be open and then I want to be able to just like kind of pull it up.

87
00:05:53,840 --> 00:06:00,280
I'm a busy dude. And it's like running pretty good. I'm using Oh, we got some

88
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:03,560
pretty gnarly screen tearing there. Yeah, man. These MacBook speakers, they

89
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:08,240
sound so good. Sorry. I'm sorry. I had a I had a Arrest

90
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:11,280
me. You don't have to kill me. Apparently, Crimson Desert had it on

91
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,000
that. Really? But we were getting better performance than on other upscalers, but

92
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:18,400
like FSR 3 looks a little bit better than Metal. But and there you can finally hear the fans. From my

93
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:23,160
experience with Macs, they find that they have quite a large hysteresis curve, which is like they wait a really

94
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:26,560
long time for your temperature to get high before they actually kick in the

95
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:30,600
fans. Just kind of like hoping that maybe it's just going to be a short second and it won't really matter. But

96
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:34,320
they still even with that, they still do a good job of making these fans sound

97
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:37,520
just like less uh whiny and annoying. Though, I'm sure that these aren't even

98
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:43,840
close to their full speed. And that actually brings me to another point that differentiates the Pro version of the

99
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:49,760
MacBook Pro compared to the non-Pro version of the M5 MacBook Pro. And that

100
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:51,280
is both of the fans in here exist and

101
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:57,840
are doing things to help cool it off. Because we have a much larger GPU. We

102
00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:01,160
have a 15-core CPU, a 16-core GPU, 24 gigs of included RAM. There's kind of

103
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,440
some weirdness with the RAM specs on these things where like you can't get 36

104
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:09,040
gigs on this. You would need to go to a Max or the higher-level Pro CPU to get

105
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,800
36 gigs of memory. I'm sure it's something to do with which parts of the

106
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:16,640
SOC are activated between the different SKUs, but something to note. This also

107
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:21,480
comes with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 and it seems pretty fast. Also, at the base

108
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:24,760
level for the M5 Pro MacBook Pro, you

109
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:26,160
get a full terabyte of solid-state

110
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:31,600
storage. It is getting toasty on the bottom here, though. Cuz the intakes are here

111
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,120
and it all comes up through the screen. And it's getting hot on the keyboard of

112
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:40,080
it. But they do a good job of mitigating it to the top of the keyboard and the homer of still feels pretty chill.

113
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:45,160
So funny to me that this is how it's still how you install stuff. But I actually think it makes a ton of sense

114
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:48,920
from a usage perspective. It literally forces you to acknowledge where you are

115
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:54,600
installing something. And one thing that I find super annoying about Windows is the fact that like everything

116
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:59,800
will just go like wherever. And the fact that like both in most Linux distros and

117
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:04,200
on Mac, everything just goes in the application folder. And I think it makes things way cleaner. So, we got Cyberpunk

118
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:14,480
running here, and this is an exact demonstration of my point. Look at it. We're running at 92 93° on our CPU. And

119
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:18,240
on our GPU 96 97 98. The fans sitting at

120
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:21,080
39 to 40%. The delay is huge. We're at

121
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:28,800
almost 100°. It's probably hottest GPU 94 99. Just about to cross 100. Now,

122
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:32,080
finally, the fans are slowly ramping up to cool

123
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:36,640
the laptop. If we actually want to take these all the way to max speed, this is what you

124
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,440
get. This is the MacBook they don't want you to know about.

125
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:45,600
Now that we've been running the fans at 100%, our CPU and GPU are sitting at a

126
00:08:42,719 --> 00:08:53,440
far more reasonable 85-ish degrees. And we're also now able to pull 56 W

127
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:55,839
on our processor instead of the 40 W

128
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:58,520
that it was throttling down to. So, we're actually probably getting better

129
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:02,520
performance in Cyberpunk. I don't have an FPS counter up here, but it's just an

130
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:07,920
interesting choice that Apple will choose to let your performance throttle

131
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:11,400
rather than like let you realize that your computer is working as hard as it

132
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:15,880
is. I think it's a choice that makes a lot of sense for the average consumer,

133
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:20,120
maybe the low-end MacBook Pros. I think it's pretty frustrating to see this kind

134
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:24,720
of behavior on like the M5 Pros and the M5 Maxes of the world. If you're

135
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:28,880
spending that much on a laptop and desiring that much performance, there's

136
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:32,839
no reason to like hide the fact that it needs to work, you know? Maybe I just

137
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:39,160
have a different perspective than other MacBook owners. I guess there is the appeal of like having this slick machine

138
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:42,440
that is powerful, but also quiet, but I think that it's annoying especially once

139
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,720
I've activated I've specifically activated high power mode on this thing

140
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:50,360
that it doesn't automatically let the fans rev up. We have the normal reflective

141
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:54,280
glass MacBook coating and here's their nano texture display. I will say it does

142
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,040
the thing that I've always found annoying of these nano texture displays

143
00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:02,560
is it adds that weird like little like almost like noise. It has that kind of graininess and like noise to like solid

144
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:06,160
colors, but it's really doing a good job of having no reflections. There's

145
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:10,200
something that feels totally personal preference and I can see you leaning

146
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:14,240
either way. I think that non textured display that has some reflections when

147
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:18,160
you max the brightness, it doesn't matter so much and it looks really

148
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:21,960
really good. I think that the trade-offs in terms of viewing experience aren't

149
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:26,080
that bad on the nano textures. So really I think would I would just recommend you

150
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,680
get whatever is best tailored to the space that you're going to be using your

151
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:33,320
laptop. If you're somebody who's going to have a lot of lighting in a bright space, you might really want to consider

152
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:39,520
the anti-reflective coating. If you're not, don't worry about it cuz it is an option charge. Let's talk about results

153
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,520
first. Woah.

154
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:45,240
You ever seen that app before? I have not ever seen that before. It's a good

155
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:48,680
we're back. It might have something to do with the like ending that screen recording

156
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:53,440
ending. Who knows? That was kind of weird. Kind of crazy. But yeah, like honestly

157
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:58,360
playing Cyberpunk it's really it's high performance. [music] The screen looks great, but what does

158
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,880
Labs have to say about the performance of this thing? Let's talk about battery

159
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:06,480
which I guess I've kind of glossed over. The battery in the MacBook Pro M5 Pro

160
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:12,000
has 72.41 hours of size and in our battery test

161
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,240
where we stream a 1080p video at 200

162
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:17,440
nits of peak brightness in low power mode, the MacBook Pro M5 Pro gets 9

163
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:22,760
hours and 18 minutes of battery life which is a little bit worse than the non

164
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,240
Pro M5 MacBook Pro. God, these names.

165
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:29,240
But is a little bit better than the MacBook Air M5. Though the MacBook Air

166
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:32,600
M5 comes with a much smaller capacity battery. Honestly with the battery life

167
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:36,560
we're seeing from some of the Intel laptops,

168
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:40,760
I'm kind of surprised at how poorly these MacBooks are doing. That's not to

169
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:43,920
say that 9 hours of battery life isn't good. That's a full day's of work,

170
00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:47,560
especially if your work involved streaming 1080p video all day. What a

171
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:51,400
job I'd love to have. The Apple should really start considering maybe increasing the battery size that they

172
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:56,440
have in these things. Like, look at their MacBook Neo, right? Like, that thing was like 90% battery. But, it

173
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,080
seems like Apple's just really finally been challenged on the battery endurance

174
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,880
front. And that's something that we haven't seen in years. Well, I wonder if

175
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:08,520
we I'm going to try Cinebench. If you let the fan drip, I wonder if we can beat the Cinebench score. Okay, look at

176
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:14,000
this. Cinebench 2026 multi-thread, default fan profile, 7,000

177
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:17,720
267. You crank the fans, 7,600. You're losing performance. Yeah,

178
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:22,080
it's not that much. Like, it's not that much. But, like, if you're somebody who's rendering a video and you got a

179
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,360
deadline, you might want that performance. Luckily, you can't just install the utility that lets you

180
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:31,440
control the fans. >> It's kind of annoying that you have to do it, but it's it's just it's just to prove my point. Oh, I used stats, Mac

181
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:36,760
dash stats. When it comes to Cinebench, the MacBook Pro M5 Pro looks pretty dang

182
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:40,320
good multi-threaded, but in single-core performance, you won't see any sort of

183
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:43,800
benefit as it's basically the same architecture. There's just more of it.

184
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,760
If we had gotten the 18-core version of the CPU, we would have likely seen a

185
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:50,040
little bit of a bump to the multi-core performance in Cinebench, but because

186
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:53,160
this is the same one as the previous MacBook Pro that we tested, it's not

187
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:59,480
that different. But, when we look at things like Adobe Premiere, that's where you really see the benefits of the large

188
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:01,680
GPU on the MacBook Pro. It It just blows

189
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,880
the non- Pro M5 out of the water. However, if you're doing something

190
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:09,080
that's more like Photoshop, you're not going to see nearly as much of a benefit. Though, also, I just want to

191
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:13,560
point out that the M5, the base M5, is better than the M1 Pro, despite the M1

192
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:17,800
Pro having substantially more GPU cores. Honestly, Apple's done a lot in just a few short years improving the

193
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:21,839
performance of their GPUs. In gaming, we should also see a pretty huge benefit.

194
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:25,600
In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the M5 Pro wipes the floor with both of the

195
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:29,560
comparison laptops here. Same with in Cyberpunk 2077. Having more GPU cores

196
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,480
that are more betterer is good. And the game looked pretty good. The game looked

197
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:36,200
pretty good when I was playing it. >> Unless you wanted to play Crab Rave.

198
00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:40,600
>> I mean, I we know how good these sound. Yeah. They're the best speakers, and

199
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:44,920
then Dells maybe second. That is the MacBook Pro M5 Pro.

200
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,720
Uh not at all confusing name for your laptop. Though, the price also isn't

201
00:13:46,680 --> 00:13:54,120
very confusing cuz it's going to be coming in at a whopping $2,200.

202
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,440
Which I think is kind of reasonable for

203
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:59,200
what you're getting. It's tough when I'm looking at stuff like the ZenBook Duo

204
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:04,440
from ASUS where I'm like you're getting two screens, a high-performing GPU and

205
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:08,200
CPU, and you're getting all of that for about the same amount of money. But,

206
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:11,520
also something to think about is that that ZenBook Duo, you're not going to be

207
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:16,280
able to resell that for nothing. This, you're probably going to be able to resell in a few years and people will

208
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:20,680
still want to use it. And I mean, like my partner, she still uses an M1

209
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:24,080
MacBook Air, and it's still good. I just don't know. MacBook you pay the Apple

210
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:27,960
tax. If you're comfortable with that, I don't see why this is bad. Also included

211
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:32,720
at that price point is a really, really nice screen. My thing is that Mac has

212
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:37,000
less and less going for it these days as x86 chips have finally caught up. Even

213
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:40,800
the software. Like think about all of the complaints that have come out about

214
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:45,040
the most recent versions of macOS. I guess it's better than Windows, which is

215
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:49,360
a pretty low bar, but the MacBook Pro, it's still awesome. It's still

216
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:52,720
expensive. And if you're not already on the Apple ecosystem, there's a lot of

217
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:57,960
great options that are currently present. Plus, you could save $500

218
00:14:55,480 --> 00:15:02,839
on a regular M5. There's 100% a group of people here where that $500 to get the

219
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:07,160
better GPU is going to go a long way. And it's easier than spending like

220
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,880
whatever, $1,000 extra to get an M5 Max.

221
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:13,960
That one's actually $3,500. >> Yeah, like 3,500 for an M5 Max?

222
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:16,800
>> 3,600, really. I feel like it's changed. It used to be like who gets the MacBook?

223
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:20,520
Who gets the M Pro series? And now it's who gets the M Max series? There's people out there. Thank you so much for

224
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:25,560
watching this video. If If this, why don't you check out Elijah's impressions of the MacBook Air? Or maybe was it

225
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:30,880
Riley's impressions of the MacBook Neo? Because there's a whole bunch of new MacBooks and they're all very

226
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,880
interesting.
