Fantastic value for money. Great build quality and amazing integration with other Apple systems.

Great price, great service, great geek squad service, delivery commitment was outstanding, geek squad transitioned the pc to Mac seamless.

I love that it’s thin and very light! I am in college and can do everything that i need!

Amazing purchase!! If you are content creator, editor or some similar, this is the Mac you need, and Best Buy have the best prices

I've been using this for weeks — video editing, design, and daily work — and it handles everything without breaking a sweat. GPU performance improved about 37% over the M4, and you feel it immediately. Apps open instantly, multitasking is seamless, and it never gets hot. Six Colors The Liquid Retina XDR display hits 1600 nits of peak brightness with a million-to-one contrast ratio — honestly one of the best screens you'll find on any laptop right now. AppleInsider Battery life on the 16-inch M5 Pro lasted over 20 hours in testing, and even the base model easily gets you through a full day. CNN One honest critique: it still uses Wi-Fi 6E instead of Wi-Fi 7, and there's no Thunderbolt 5 — feels like a missed opportunity at this price point. Cult of Mac That said — if you're upgrading from an M1 or M2, this is a massive jump. If you have an M4, wait for the M6. For everyone else — creators, editors, professionals — this is the right buy. Would I recommend it? Absolutely.

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.

As a software engineer, I bought this for the compilation speed and the "silent workstation" experience. After using it for several weeks with a heavy local stack (Docker, VS Code, and multiple Chrome instances), here is the reality: ​Compilation & Speed: It turns a 2-minute build into 30 seconds. The M-series architecture is a force multiplier for anyone working in Rust, Go, or Xcode. ​Memory (RAM): Do NOT get the base 16GB if you use Docker or heavy IDEs. 36GB is the sweet spot where you stop checking Activity Monitor. ​Thermal Control: It stays dead silent. My previous Intel Mac sounded like a jet engine during a simple npm install; this barely gets warm. ​Display: The ProMotion 120Hz makes reading code significantly easier on the eyes. If you can afford the Nano-texture option, it’s a game-changer for working near windows. ​Battery: Real-world dev use (IDE + Simulator) gives me about 7-9 hours. Not the "20+ hours" advertised for video playback, but still enough to leave the charger at home. ​The Catch: Apple’s RAM and SSD pricing is predatory. Buy exactly what you need now, because you can’t upgrade later. ​Verdict: If your income depends on your code, this is the best investment you can make.

Incredible, simply incredible. I upgraded to this MacBook Pro from my old 2020 MacBook air that was made when Apple was still running on intel processors. I just started getting into production video editing, and capturing high quality 4K/ProRes video footage. And where my old Air couldn’t even process the footage I was attempting to capture in 720p 30fps, this Pro can process not only 4K & ProRes at 60fps, but it can process separate 4K & ProRes videos, and capture high fidelity lossless audio all at the same time, and it doesn’t even break a sweat! Plus it’s quiet, compact, and lightweight! (Granted not as lightweight as an Air, but much lighter than a desktop or most PCs laptops that attempt to produce this much computing power) AND it connects to my desk monitors seamlessly. To say this MacBook Pro has completely changed my productivity and the way I view and use a computer, would be an understatement. Outstanding!

Paid about $1700 for this M5 MacBook Pro. I used Best Buy's trade in to get $275 for my 2020 M1 MacBook Air. My version was a returned item with 24GB Memory and 1TB SSD At this price it was an insane value. Performance is snappy across the board—everything from everyday multitasking and browsing to heavier creative work like photo editing, 4K video timelines, and even light AI tasks feels effortless and blazing fast. The GPU gains and enhanced Neural Engine make a noticeable difference, and the SSD speeds are ridiculously quick for file transfers and app loading. Battery life is phenomenal; I routinely get 20+ hours of real-world mixed use without breaking a sweat, all while staying completely silent (no fans screaming during normal workloads). If you are still on a Windows computer, it's because you're a gamer who won't pay for Crossover, you absolutely have to use Windows only programs or you just hate yourself and refuse to change.

Amazing laptop. Replaced my M2 PRO Macbook Pro. Much faster than my PRO chip. Very long battery life and excellent speakers. Somewhat affordable compared to the windows pro laptops with similar spec. The size is perfect, the performance is fast and smooth, and the screen is absolutely stunning.

I have only had it for a few weeks but it has been a great transition from Pc to Mac. I can already tell that it will be a great tool for photo editing. It is a powerhouse Mac. It’s quick and the battery life is great!

I love this new M5 MacBook Pro. Upgraded from an older Intel based MacBook Pro which I really liked and was in great shape when I traded it in. However, this new MacBook Pro is at a whole different level. It’s screaming fast. I like the design it’s rock solid. The battery life is amazing. I like that they’ve gone back to a magnetic charger so now I don’t have to worry about somebody catching my charging cable and damaging anything and it’s got just the right ports. All in all I could not be happier.

I have had the MacBook Pro M5 Chip 24 Gb Memory and 1TB SSD for about a month; it is a major upgrade performance -wise over my previous MacBook Pro that contained an Intel Chip. With the new model the speed of virtually all activities is significantly faster, it works extremely well with all AI programs (including Apple's AI) and the battery life is exemplary - will truly last an entire day. The new model also has multiple ports - making connections with peripherals much more straightforward. It has been a very good investment.

This MacBook Pro is a great computer. It has great speed and response, no lagging or non-responsive programs. I use it mainly for church work and it runs my program so and effectively. The display is 14”, I didn’t realize it was so small so I added an external monitor. Works great. .
