Review: With the new MacBook Pro (M5), Apple is just showing off
The 2024 M4 MacBook Pro is the most well-rounded laptop in Apple’s MacBook lineup. Compared to the Air, it has a better display with a 120Hz refresh rate, cooler multi-tasking capabilities, nicer speakers, a better mix of ports, and an excellent battery life (16.5 hours). It’s a bit more expensive, but it’s also more of a beast, built specifically for creatives and professionals. It earned a 15,199 on the Geekbench 6 multi-core test, which beats our most powerful non-gaming PC laptop (the Microsoft Surface Laptop 7). As Mashable’s reviewer Kim Gedeon wrote, “The 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro basically said, “In your face!” to Windows laptops after they made noise with the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite chip.”

The price is not for the faint of heart, with the base model starting at $1,599. But with this $250 price drop, we’re much more inclined to recommend it for more than just power users. The newer M5 MacBook Pro only offers iterative improvements and will cost you the full $1,599. Unless you’re hellbent on getting the best of the best, we’d recommend going with the previous generation and keeping some money in your pocket.
