Right now, rumors suggest the main upgrade coming to this year’s MacBook Pros is the equally rumored and unannounced Apple M5 chip. There have been reports of OLED MacBook Pros, but these machines aren’t expected this year. If that’s the case, 2025’s MacBook Pros might only get a spec bump at best.

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

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.

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.

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.
