Apple claims that its 2026 models can deliver "up to 2x" the sustained read and write speeds of the M4 Pro and Max laptops. In our testing, the 4TB SSD in the 16-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro bore that out: our unit could sustain a 13.6GB/s read speed and an even higher 17.8GB/s write speed.

3 weeks agoTesting Apple's 2026 16-inch MacBook Pro, M5 Max, and its new "performance" cores
The M5 Pro and M5 Max are no longer monolithic chips with all the CPU and GPU cores and everything else packed into a single silicon die. Using an 'all-new Fusion Architecture' like the one used to combine two Max chips into a single Ultra chip, Apple now splits the CPU cores (and other things) into one piece of silicon, and the GPU cores (and other things) into another piece of silicon.

3 weeks agoThe MacBook Neo Cuts (Most of) the Right Corners
It's not the basic MacBook. Or the cheap MacBook. Or the mini MacBook. It's the MacBook "Neo," meaning new or young-a fresh take on an old idea. Love the name or hate it, you likely see what Apple was attempting to communicate from a marketing perspective. It's meant to be a new kind of Mac for a new generation-perhaps an attempt to recapture a generation that's only been exposed to iPads and Chromebooks.

The MacBook Neo is a $599 laptop ($499 with the educator discount) that disrupts the market, bringing a trimmed-down version of the premium build MacBooks are known for to this lower price point. Yes, there are trade-offs to get the price this low, but Apple has done a good job at managing them.

2 months agoM5 MacBook Pro vs. M4 MacBook Air: I compared Apple's most popular laptops, and this one wins
If you are in the market for a new Apple laptop, it can be confusing to choose the one that suits your needs. After all, the company recently released an all-new 14-inch base MacBook Pro powered by its latest M5 processor. It is more powerful than the $999 (currently $750) but not as formidable as the more expensive M4 Pro and M4 Max-powered machines.
