Apple Readies M5 Pro and M5 Max Macs for March Debut with 3nm Power Boost

Apple is reportedly set to unveil M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pros (14-inch and 16-inch) with a 3nm M5 chip delivering about 20% CPU and 30% GPU gains over the M4, plus an enhanced Neural Engine; designs are expected to match the M4, with a launch anticipated next week ahead of Apple's March 4 event. Rumors also hint at OLED/touchscreen upgrades in a future generation (M6), which could influence whether buyers wait for a bigger overhaul.

Waiting for the M5 Air: Why the Next MacBook Might Be the Best Buy

Waiting for the M5 Air: Why the Next MacBook Might Be the Best Buy

Tech coverage argues Apple’s upcoming M5 MacBook Air, expected in March, will deliver about a 15–20% general performance increase over the M4 and stronger graphics/AI performance in the same slim, fanless chassis. With a base price around $999, the M5 Air could offer better everyday value than the Pro for most users, though Pro models add a larger 16-inch screen, more ports, ProMotion and higher performance at a higher cost and power draw. If you don’t need pro workloads, waiting for the M5 makes sense; otherwise, the current M4 Air or discounted M4 Pro could still be viable options.

Apple’s 2026 MacBook Blitz: M5 Pro/Max Upgrades, Budget A‑Series, and OLED Pros

Rumors point to a busy 2026 for Apple’s MacBook line: M5 Pro and M5 Max updates across the 14‑inch and 16‑inch MacBook Pro models later this month or in March, a rumored budget MacBook powered by an A‑series chip priced around $599–$699, and an M5 refresh for the MacBook Air in the first quarter. Later in the year, OLED MacBook Pros with a touchscreen and possible M6 chips are expected, though at higher prices. No major redesign is anticipated for Pro or Air models, with Pro starting around $1,999 (14″) and $2,499 (16″), and the OLED variants serving as a premium option.

Apple moves Macs into a fully customizable build-to-order era

Apple has shifted from preset Mac configurations to a fully customizable build-to-order setup on Apple.com, allowing buyers to tailor display size, chip, memory, storage, and more. Third-party retailers may continue offering standard configurations, and the change could pave the way for future CPU/GPU core customization with the upcoming M5 Pro/Max models, potentially masking price rises as components evolve.

The piece also flags broader Mac updates across the lineup and a rumored low‑end MacBook with an iPhone‑class processor, though production and RAM/supply constraints could influence timing.
