wait I can’t have M5 with 64GB ram? highest is just 32GB which is ridiculous!




M5 Pro and M5 Max will come later with higher RAM support.

This has been their staggered release strategy for a while.


I thought the Pro and Max usually get announced at the same time and the Ultra comes later...

Correct. Sometimes much later.

Still no M4 Ultra Studio available.


they have historically had three tiers of cpus:

- normal - pro - max

pro and max had way more cores and gpus and supported way more ram. today's release is the basic version of the new cpu; if you want more ram you can get the m4pro or m4max based MacBook Pros, or wait for the M5pro/max to come out.


so, macbook pro m5 normal, macbook pro m5 pro, macbook pro m5 max. I see M4 still in the offer, which costs more. No wifi 7 on m5 (normal or not). 32GB these days, unified or not, in a pro machine.. I haven't paid much attention to macs over the past few years but I wonder what would Steve Jobs say about this shit.

It seems like only the M5 base chip is available at the moment. The M5 Pro and Max, whenever those are released, will presumably have higher limits.

and its unified
