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.

So, while the M5 chip is now anticipated to find its way into the MacBook Pro before the iPad Pro, don’t be surprised if it’s more of an incremental refresh than anything else

When consumers will see the debut of M5-based devices from Apple is coming into focus, and the shift will likely start with Apple's MacBook Pro lineup.

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.

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.
