Is the M5 MacBook Pro worth it over the M4?

If you already own an M4 model, the jump is modest for everyday tasks. Buyers coming from Intel Macs or older M1 machines get a much larger speed gain.

How much memory and storage does this model have?

This configuration has 24 GB of unified memory and a 1 TB SSD. Both are fixed at purchase, so choose carefully.

Does it have a touchscreen?

No. The 14.2-inch display is not a touchscreen and the laptop does not convert to a tablet.

What ports are included?

Thunderbolt/USB-C, HDMI, an SD card reader and a 1/8-inch headphone jack. There is no optical drive and no SIM slot.

Is there a fingerprint reader?

No fingerprint reader is listed. You sign in with a password or unlock with an Apple Watch.

Can I upgrade the memory or storage later?

No. The 24 GB of memory and 1 TB SSD are soldered and fixed at purchase, so pick the configuration you need up front.
