With the new M5 chip quietly added to the entry-level 14-Inch MacBook Pro, it showed up alongside the M5 iPad Pro on Apple’s website, and the M5 Vision Pro. It comes as no surprise the chip has the greatest Single Core performance score of any Mac up until this point, further raising the bar.

On the outside, the 14-Inch M5 MacBook Pro looks the same as the outgoing M4 model. Memory bandwidth is increased to 153 GB/s from the M4’s 120 GB/s. The GPU now has a neural accelerator in each core, to help GPU-based AI workloads run much faster than before. .

In addition to a neural accelerator in each core, it bumps the GPU core count up from M4’s 8, to 10 on the M5.

• Closed Lid Mode: All ‘Books support “lid closed” (or clamshell) mode, which leaves the built-in display off and dedicates all video RAM to an external display or two. To use closed lid mode, your ‘Book must be plugged into the AC adapter and connected to an external display and a USB or Bluetooth mouse and keyboard (you might also want to consider external speakers). Power up your ‘Book until the desktop appears on the external display and then close the lid. Your ‘Book will go to sleep, but you can wake it by moving the mouse or using the keyboard. The built-in display will remain off, and the external monitor will become your only display.
