This is a great product. The only thing is I do not like the design specially in terms of the gaps for fan it has. I understand the purpose but MacBook air feels like more solid in terms of build quality. Might be controversial statement.

Switching over from the Windows ecosystem, I have to say—this laptop feels like moving from traffic on I-85 straight onto an empty Autobahn. It’s smooth, fast, and so polished it almost feels illegal.
The M5 chip? Honestly, it performs so well I keep wondering if Apple secretly installed a tiny superhero inside. Apps launch instantly, multitasking is buttery, and there’s absolutely zero lag—like, “did it even think about loading?” zero.
The Liquid Retina display with 120 Hz refresh rate is another show-off feature. Photos and videos look so crisp that even my old vacation pictures suddenly seem professionally shot.
Battery life? Charge it once, forget the charger, and live your best life for the rest of the day. And despite throwing some stress at it—gaming, 4K streaming—it stays impressively quiet, as if it’s meditating through the workload.
Overall, it’s an excellent laptop and a joy to use. Yes, it’s pricier than most Windows machines—but honestly, it performs like it knows it’s expensive.

Excellent battery life. It powers on instantly and there's no waiting time. It's a completely silent computer and stays cool no matter how long you use it.

I undertook what I felt was a rather extensive amount of research prior to purchasing this Macbook Pro (though I am by no means a technical expert). What I can say regarding that is such: between this and the Macbook Air m4, the screen resolution and frame rate are upgraded (mini-LED, 120hz), the base model’s memory is upgraded (512gb), the speakers are upgraded, the GPU and CPU are obviously upgraded, the AI capabilities are upgraded (the m5 chip is generally centered around AI performance to integrate it more seamlessly in Apple’s future AI updates), the cooling system is upgraded (designated cooling fan), the battery is upgraded, there are added HDMI and SD card slots, and, in light of such, the overall performance/bandwidth of the machine experience an general upgrade.
For some reference, I’ve been exclusively driving an IPad Pro M1 with Magic Keyboard for the past 4 or 5 years but have been experiencing some limited functionality with a number of apps. Obviously, a computer designed to work as a computer will resolve the issues that I’m experiencing on the IPad, so I’m happy with the purchase.
Something else to keep in mind, like most other computer manufacturers, there’s built-in obsolescence, so buying the newest version of any machine will always give you security in the future. People generally call this being “future-proof,” which in reality is about a 7-year(ish) expected span of security. The device won’t die, per-se, but most companies will stop fully supporting the device around that time. I myself am still trying to understand when the most optimal time to upgrade is and optimize the values of trade-in and continued performance. I imagine it’s similar to a car. In any case, best of luck with your future purchase!

Set up very fast and is working in perfect condition and order. I love the pro I bought and plan on a daily usage so it’s going to be the best option for me.
