Of course this comes out right when I'm considering changing my M1 Pro for a MacBook Air!

The interesting thing is that it is just an M5 chip. Not an M5 Pro or M5 Max.

Tim Apple knows.

Looks like only diff from the M4 is a bump in memory bandwidth? Decent incremental improvement mind.

Yup, waiting for now. In the meantime I may order a 15" Air with a view of returning, to see how I get on with that size.

Is the M5 still faster than the M4 Pro and even the M4 Max?

My M4 Pro 16 inch is only a few months old but I knew this was coming and pleased the speculators were correct in saying tandem OLED would be late next year.

Arg I just got a 14" M4!!!! And I'm using it for local LLM which this new one seems to excel at. Sigh.

If you got it in the last 14 days you can send it back no questions asked.
