Apple’s flagship MacBook Pro laptop is widely expected to get the M5 chip this year, but what else could we see? Here’s everything we know about it so far.

How much more does the Pro cost? How much lighter is the Air? M3 vs. M4? You've got MacBook questions. We've got answers.

But according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, this won’t be repeated for the M5 chip. In the Post Game Q&A section of his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman states the transition to M5 chips will begin in the fall of 2025 in new MacBook Pro models, with the iPad Pro not getting the same treatment until the first half of 2026.

TL;DR: Get a refurbished 2017 Apple MacBook Pro with Touch Bar for only $377.97 (Reg $1,499). While not all technological advances are unreservedly welcome, it’s truly wonderful to find that hardware has finally advanced to the point where we don’t need cutting-edge laptops.
