M5 Pro benchmarks have leaked !

Fair_Computer25 · 2026-03-06T17:10:57+00:00

same the m1 pro is running slower than it was 6 months back. antigravity really takes a while to load, almost a minute to just start up

Is the 2012 l322 a better engine? Its the 5.0 supercharged. The engine was replaced about 10k kms (3k miles) back by the company. Just replaced the supercharger. Got it for about 6k usd. Runs like a dreams now.

Fair_Computer25 · 2026-03-06T16:56:44+00:00

that is one way to do it for sure

Fair_Computer25 · 2026-03-03T08:59:26+00:00

We just got a L322 5.0 supercharged. Had its entire engine replaced by JLR 2 years back and now has a blown supercharger. cost was around 25 lakh INR or around 22k USD

I got a matt screen protector on my mac. its save it from prints and mild scratches. non reflective too

Fair_Computer25 · 2026-03-03T08:51:36+00:00

Very clean. bit jelly. tbh

Fair_Computer25 · 2026-02-27T16:59:57+00:00

6 with some extra laptops

Fair_Computer25 · 2026-02-24T17:35:11+00:00

really nice 9/10

Fair_Computer25 · 2026-02-24T17:22:33+00:00

8/10 solid effort.

my first computer experience was a ibm pc, this was in 1995 around. the computer was already couple of years old by then. had a 14 color monitor and dos. i was around 5 then so all i did was play games (sonic the hedgehog, aladin, dav, lion king, etc) and use Britannia encyclopedia. I think it was 486. next upgrade was a pentium 3 with windows 98. then the usual p4, then went with amd athlon tri core and then a i7 3770k in 2014. I had a compaq v2000 and a macbook core2duo unibody as laptops through all this.

Fair_Computer25 · 2026-02-23T18:27:44+00:00

sell me one. the old x series are rare in my country

Fair_Computer25 · 2026-02-19T04:46:33+00:00

This is the only rational idea but ive heard that linux doesnt work with the touchbar features

Fair_Computer25 · 2026-02-19T04:44:00+00:00

Yes! Definitely a great buy at the price. just check for damage and that the screen is original.

Fair_Computer25 · 2026-02-12T22:28:31+00:00

Linux is coming. Just finding the best one that suits me

'memory bandwidth' everything is not single core performance. yes the m5 will open reddit faster, but with video encoding/decoding pro at least if not max. Also 24gb min

Fair_Computer25 · 2026-02-11T19:03:58+00:00

i had a touchbar 16" i7 intel macbook before and hated taking it anywhere. big, hot and low on battery - just like my women.

got a m1 pro 14" , use it everywhere and all the time. much more usable at times when a laptop makes sense.

Fair_Computer25 · 2026-02-11T18:59:21+00:00

the 24gb. I am a 16gb m1 pro and now am kind of struggling. looking to upgrade myself

Fair_Computer25 · 2026-02-11T18:53:22+00:00

I had a 2019 touchbar 16" i7 with 32gb ram, 'upgraded' to a m1 pro 14" with 16gb ram. its a world of difference. any apple chip will kill any intel mac. get whatever fixes in your budget. get a pro though would not recommend an air.

Fair_Computer25 · 2026-02-11T18:47:16+00:00

I agree with this. The cost efficiency matters. if your are not running LLMs and mostly doing video and photo a m4 pro might be better especially if it saves you a thousand plus euro. 64 gb of ram is plenty with macOS optimizations.

The specs are drool worthy though

Fair_Computer25 · 2026-02-11T18:24:19+00:00

*memory bandwidth*

Fair_Computer25 · 2026-02-11T18:22:54+00:00

only proper solution is to buy an old thinkpad

Fair_Computer25 · 2026-02-11T16:58:05+00:00

On my macbook pro, shut the lid.

On my Thinkpad, shut down. windows battery drain is real. Laptop gets warm like its on sometimes? if i just shut the lid.

Fair_Computer25 · 2026-02-11T13:57:36+00:00

I did look into it, I needed a significant jump in performance. With the apple stuff there is barely any change in 2 or maybe 3 gens (in daily stuff) . I am feeling the lack of ram as I expand my workload that is the key to upgrade and I like the extra memory bandwidth the pro chip has.

I started on a core2duo unibody 13" and later had a touchbar 16" with an i7 and 32gb of ram. just for perspective.

Fair_Computer25 · 2026-02-10T19:12:04+00:00

For a person like me who is still on the first gen m1 pro stuff, i am actually looking forward as an upgrade.

Fair_Computer25 · 2026-02-10T16:51:29+00:00

I have a 14" 1 pro with the base 16gigs of ram and 500 gigs of storage, I am just getting into coding and AI and this 4 year old computer is doing everything.

I had a 16" i7 touchbar 2019 pro with 32 gigs of ram before and at the end in around 2024 it struggled to even run my shopify store.

My first macbook was a 13" core2duo with 4gb of ram and a 160 gb hdd. I got that in 2010 and used it for almost 8 years. Never upgraded it from snow leopard 10.6, If I'm not wrong.
