The most significant change is the new Intel Core i9−14900HX processor, which replaces the previous i9−13900HX. Although both processors have similar capabilities, the new model has a higher clock speed. The M2 Gen 5 laptop comes in two sizes: 15.6 inches and 17.3 inches. Size affects available graphics card options: 15.6 inches – Choose between GeForce RTX 4060 and RTX 4070. 17.3 inches: Choose Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 or high-end RTX 4090.
The larger 17.3-inch model offers additional storage potential with up to three M.2 2280 SSDs compared to two in the 15.6-inch version. Additionally, the larger version comes with a larger 99 Wh battery, while the smaller version has an 80 Wh capacity.
Both size options have a high-resolution 2560×1440 screen with G-Sync support. The IPS panel promises vibrant colors that cover the entire DCI-P3 color space. The refresh rate reaches a smooth 240Hz.
The M2 Gen 5 has a starting price of $1,895 and will be equipped with an Intel Core i9−14900HX processor and a 15.6-inch display. The device comes pre-installed with Kubuntu 22.04 LTS with KDE Plasma 5.27 LTS.
