The 16-inch MacBook Pro runs on the Apple M5 Pro or M5 Max chip. Both chips have a next-generation CPU, faster unified memory and up to 2x faster SSD storage. Their GPU has a Neural Accelerator built into each core, which speeds up AI performance and on-device training.
The 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display has 1600 nits peak brightness, up to 1000 nits sustained brightness and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. A 12MP Center Stage camera, three studio-quality mics and six speakers with Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos support handle video calls and audio. Performance is the same on battery as when plugged in.
It runs macOS, which includes built-in virus protection, free software updates and apps like FaceTime and Messages. Apple Intelligence is available in beta. It works with other Apple devices, including iPhone Mirroring and copy and paste between iPhone and Mac.
