Someone I know saw the 14" starts from $1,599 and the 16" starts at $2,499, and quipped "The most expensive 2 inches ever."
However, it is not just because of the larger display.
M5 14" starts at:
10-Core CPU
10-Core GPU
16GB Unified Memory
512GB SSD Storage
M5 16" starts at:
14-Core CPU
20-Core GPU
24GB Unified Memory
512GB SSD Storage
So it's the cost of 4x more core CPU, 10x (double) the core GPU, and +8GB memory.
- DASD 1y agoThe 16" doesn't offer the M5(yet), rather the M4 Pro and Max CPUs. Difference also is higher number of performance cores vs efficiency cores and memory bandwidth is significantly higher in the M4 lines(273 and 410 GB/s) versus the M5(153 GB/s).
- PeterCorless 1y agoYou're absolutely right and my bad. (I feel like Claude saying that.) Apparently the M4 Pro and M5 Max are coming in February. https://www.macworld.com/article/2942089/macbook-pro-m5-pro-max-release-specs-price.html https://www.macworld.com/article/2942089/macbook-pro-m5-pro-...
- ElijahLynn 1y agoWhere did you get these specs from? The page linked in the OP says the 16 in is only available in M4.
- PeterCorless 1y agoYeah, it was my boof. I am presuming that when M5 Pro and M5 Max ship in February there will some sort of similar upshift. https://www.macworld.com/article/2942089/macbook-pro-m5-pro-max-release-specs-price.html https://www.macworld.com/article/2942089/macbook-pro-m5-pro-...
