Apple MacBook Pro 14.2" M5 Silver 2025
The Apple M5 10-core chip with per-core Neural Accelerators delivers a 3.5x boost in AI performance and 1.6x faster graphics, driving a 14.2-inch Mini-LED 120Hz display that peaks at 1600 nits and sustains up to 24-hour battery life. Weighing just 1.50kg, the aluminum unibody pairs with optional nano-texture glass that cuts glare while preserving the 3024x1964 resolution. It’s ideal for AI developers running local large language models and video editors grading HDR footage on location.
