Apple recenlty launched a new array of devices powered by the M5 chip -- which, as per benchmarks -- matches the performance of Apple's M1 Ultra chip.

What's the best MacBook of 2025? Mashable's senior shopping reporter rounds up five options for school, photo editing, and more.

Apple sent us the 1TB version of the 13-inch iPad Pro to test, which means we got the fully enabled version of the M5: four high-performance CPU cores, six high-efficiency GPU cores, 10 GPU cores, a 16-core Neural Engine, and 16GB of RAM.

The new M5 iPad Pro and MacBook Pro show a historic trend clearly continuing: iPad hardware innovation keeps outpacing the Mac.

There's no shame in owning an older laptop. But when the latest models can hit these numbers while costing less, it makes you think.

Apple delays the M5 Mac Mini to 2026. Discover performance upgrades, release details, and whether the M4 is still worth buying.

Also like A19 and A19 Pro from the latest iPhone models, the M5 chip delivers increased memory bandwidth. It offers 153GB/s, a 27.5% improvement over the M4’s 120GB/s. While this can give a speed boost to any intense workflow, it particularly benefits generative AI tasks.
