Apple's new touchscreen MacBook Pro starts at $2,899, but a fully configured 16-inch model with the M5 Max chip, 128GB memory, and a 16TB SSD reaches $14,549, according to MacRumors' analysis of Apple's online configurator. The 14-inch equivalent tops out at $14,249. Preorders begin October 30, with units shipping November 6.
Most laptops that feel slow are not short of processing power. They are held back by a hard drive, a lack of memory, a clogged fan, or a browser doing too much.
Teardown analysis from Expand Mac mini shows the new M6 and M5 Pro Mac mini models have their NAND storage soldered directly to the logic board, reversing the removable SSD design found in the previous M4 Mac mini. Expand Mac mini, which sells cheaper aftermarket storage modules for the M4 lineup, says supporting the newer chips now looks unlikely.
