The new M5 chip with 10 cores (4 high-performance and 6 energy-saving) shows a 10-20% performance increase compared to the M4.
In Geekbench 6, the laptop scored 4,288 single-core and 17,926 multi-core scores, up 18% from last year’s model. The graphics have become about 30% more powerful, and this is especially noticeable in games.
The speed of the SSD has almost doubled – reaching 1917 MB/s when copying 25 GB of data. The Liquid Retina XDR display (3024 x 1964, 120 Hz) remains one of the best on the market, and the nano-texture option ($150 extra) reduces glare.

Autonomy is impressive – 18 hours 14 minutes. This is much more than Intel laptops. At the same time, Apple retained the aluminum body, six speakers and the usual ports.
