- Is the 16-inch MacBook Pro with M5 worth $3,419?
- It is worth it if you need 48 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD for video, 3D or large codebases. For lighter work, a lower-spec model or the 14-inch version saves money.
- How does the M5 compare with the M4 model?
- The M5 is the newer chip with 18- or 20-core options and adds Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0. The 2024 M4 model remains capable and is often cheaper.
- How long does the battery last?
- Apple rates it at up to 24 hours. Real-world mixed use is shorter, and heavy editing or compiling drains it faster.
- Can I upgrade the RAM or SSD later?
- No. The 48 GB of RAM and 1 TB SSD are soldered, so choose the configuration you need when you buy.
- What comes in the box?
- The laptop and a USB-C power adapter with cable. No external mouse or extra accessories are included.
