What reviewers say

  • The Ars Technica review acknowledges that the 14‑inch MacBook Pro with the new M5 chip offers a solid set of improvements—particularly in display quality (mini‑LED, 120 Hz ProMotion, optional nano‑texture matte finish), port selection (three Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI, SD card slot, MagSafe), cooling fan and slightly firmer keyboard. However, it also notes that the device is priced higher than its Air counterparts, still suffers from a noticeable notch, and the only real change over previous low‑end models is the new processor, which may not justify the extra cost for many users.
