I was in a small town in Ohio, I needed a new and better computer, I gave them a credit card with a two thousand dollar limit, and they directed me to another store about 40 minutes away since my computer specifications were a little different and more expensive. It was very quick, friendly, and they were able to help me.
pd: Plus, the credit card has no interest on Best Buy purchases for many months and they gave me 5% cash back

M5 chip is absolutely amazing. Build quality is same as previous MacBook pros. Pro is definitely worth the screen and speakers upgrade over the air. More ram is needed for the performance with the new Tahoe upgrades

I’ve been using the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the Apple M5 chip (10-core CPU / 10-core GPU), 24GB unified memory, and 1TB SSD in Space Black, and it has exceeded expectations in every possible way.
Performance is outstanding. The M5 chip handles intensive workloads effortlessly — from Python development and cloud engineering tasks to multitasking with multiple monitors, browsers, and IDEs running simultaneously. Everything feels instant, smooth, and thermally efficient, even under sustained load.
The 24GB memory makes a noticeable difference for professional use, especially for developers, SREs, and power users who rely on heavy multitasking. The 1TB SSD is blazing fast and provides ample room for projects, containers, and local environments without compromise.
The Liquid Retina XDR display is stunning — incredibly sharp, color-accurate, and a joy to work on for long hours. Battery life is equally impressive; it comfortably lasts a full workday with productivity-heavy usage, which makes it perfect for both office and remote work.
Build quality is top-tier, as expected from Apple. The Space Black finish looks elegant and professional, and the keyboard, trackpad, speakers, and webcam are among the best I’ve ever used on a laptop.
This is not just a laptop — it’s a long-term professional investment. Given the premium price point, the overall value, performance, and experience fully justify the purchase. I would confidently recommend this model to anyone looking for a future-proof, high-performance machine.
Excellent product and a purchase I’m genuinely happy with.

I have been aong tone pc user, and was debating between grabing the new asus zephyrus models bc tbey tend to have more power with a gpu- i actually still own one from 2017, full metal chasis very robust. however, after testing these new ones the quality is in the toilet for something $2-3k, all plastic, terrible battery and heat disooation, loud. I tried out the mac, quality is superb- all metal, silent(fans dont tick on for any light -medium stress), 20+ hour battery life, and for officr work- if you have an ipone your alrdy half way in the eco system. Everything works across devices seemlessly from taking notes, emails or conerence calls from iphone or ipad, it all syncs real time over devices. That integration has been a Game changer for my productivity and work flow. This thing actually lasts all day unplugged. From 830am - 8pm. Not having to lug around a 5lb charger brick like the asus and not worry about it dying in 2hrs..I love that. Its powerful, fast. You ca do media, blender 3D renders, office work, or code. So Unless you need cuda-cores for big 3d projects, or want to game like a desktop, this mac can handle anything you throw at it with ease. Ditch Microslop, go to mac or linux in 2026.
