Apple hasn't announced the MacBook Pro M5 series but rumors suggest the company's flagship laptop could arrive in the fall of 2025. These are some of the rumors we've heard.

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.

Apple will bring its next-generation M5 chip to the MacBook Pro in the fall, followed by the iPad Pro in the first half of 2026, according

The M5 MacBook Pro is important, and not just because of its power. And while it’s coming sooner than we thought, it’s not coming soon enough. Let me explain.

M5 Chips reportedly in mass production via TSMC's 3nm N3P process. Expect it in late 2025 or early 2026 across iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, and maybe even Apple Vision Pro.

The M5 is expected to debut with new MacBook Pro models, rather than the iPad Pro. When it comes to revolutions in technology, few have been as marked as when Apple made the switch to in-house silicon.

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.
