#MacBook M5 Series

Apple is preparing to refresh its MacBook Pro lineup, with industry insider Mark Gurman reporting that mass production of new models powered by the M5 chip is already underway. According to Gurman’s latest Power On newsletter, the next-generation MacBook Pro models are expected to launch between late 2025 and early 2026, with availability no later than March next year. By late 2026, Apple is rumored to introduce a major redesign of the MacBook Pro line. Meanwhile, the MacBook Pro with OLED may also feature a smaller notch and slimmer bezels, further modernizing the design. For reference, Apple launched the M2 Pro and M2 Max MacBook Pros in January 2023, making a similar early-year launch for the M5 series a plausible scenario. Apple today unveiled their smallest notebook so far -- an 11.6" Macbook Air weighing in at only 2.3lbs (1.05kg). It's much lighter and thinner this time -- between 17mm to 30mm on the side -- and since it's just 11.6" diagonally, this new Macbook Air is bordering into the netbook space. Apple's $999 introductory price point targets students the same way as they positioned the white Macbook (also priced at $999).
