I have a 2015 MBP that I was hoping to finally replace in the fall, I guess I can wait a few more months, but this is a huge bummer

Honestly, I wouldn’t wait. I think it’s unlikely the M5 series have the same bump over the previous generation than the M4 did. Add the threat of tariffs, and I think the current gen is a pretty strong value proposition.

I agree. The current mb pro is way too good to wait

Yeah everything I have read is the performance bump to M5 will be modest at best and all the fun rumored stuff like OLED isn’t coming until at least the M6 models.

My work got me an M4 Pro at the beginning of the year and it has been awesome to use, M4s are definitely super tempting.

If you’ve already waited this long and your MacBook is still working, I’d definitely just wait and save for the M5. If you weren’t planning to get top spec, now’s your chance to save for it. Since you kept your last one so long, it’s worth it in the long run.

Thats exactly what I am thinking as well

I wonder if the delay has something to do with the Trump tariffs and related supply issues…

I’m hoping for big GPU jumps. Apple’s really close to being strong competition for the most popular GPUs on Steam.

They already blow the competition (AMD, nVidia, Qualcomm) out of the water, if you’re looking at performance/power consumption. It can’t realistically get a ‘huge’ bump unless you’re hoping for a dedicated graphics add-in card (lmao)

I agree, judging by laptop gaming benchmarks Apple seems to be four years behind Nvidia, with the 2024 M4 Max performing about the same as the RTX 3060 Laptop in Cyberpunk 2077. It seems to be on par with the RTX 4060 Laptop (the most popular GPU for Steam atm) on some games, though, so CP77 may just be garbage on ARM architecture. The gap is closing, slowly…

2025 is the year of the M4 ultra.

I honestly thought it was lunacy to release a ‘new’ version every year like they do iphones.
