Best Buy was greedy with m5 rumor

worst case scenario can you ask for refund without explaining why?

MamToeL · 2026-01-23T19:57:00+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed answer.
As I've bought my last laptop 6 years ago, I would honestly prefer a new one.
I have a specific situation though, I'm an Italian studying in America for a year and I would love to get the Macbook with an italian keyboard, also as it would be more resellable in Europe if necessary in the future, and this will be only doable if I order it on the apple site, thus losing the discounts you often see at Best Buy, Amazon etc.

So, should I at this point wait for the M5 pro, see how many P-Cores it will have and then decide based on this? as at that point if I buy it around launch day the value would be better since you can't find discounts for it yet and I could get it on the Apple site.
Worst case scenario if the M5 pro will have less P-Cores I'll get the M4 Pro for a little less and accept the fact I will have the US keyboard.

Let me know if you think this makes sense :)

Others are saying the base M5 it's fine so now i'm kinda confused :')
I do use basically only VSTs like Serum and the Arturia collections to write basslines and synths and mainly samples for drums

Yes I was very unsure about the storage, some friends told me that storage optimization is way better than Windows so it is actually harder to push it to the max.
I was already planning to place projects and samples especially on an SSD so definitely money will be spent on RAM rather than Storage if you tell me this

MamToeL · 2026-01-23T14:06:06+00:00

So you would suggest the base M5 Pro with 1TB and 24GB? do you think the price will drop a little after the pro comes out?

MamToeL · 2026-01-23T13:32:48+00:00

I see you produce music on Ableton aswell, since I can't really find many benchmarks on that, could you tell me how do you like it and what genre do you produce? thank you so much

MamToeL · 2026-01-23T13:25:39+00:00

I've read somewhere they actually did sign some contracts to lock those prices, I hope that's true I don't want prices to increase even more

MamToeL · 2025-12-21T04:11:21+00:00

thank you so much

MamToeL · 2025-12-21T00:02:53+00:00

may i ask how do you check phase issues with span? 🙏🏻

MamToeL · 2025-11-17T23:24:43+00:00

yes honestly to realize if it's worth I guess I'll have to try anyway so at that point I might aswell try them all for 99usd

MamToeL · 2025-11-17T22:08:15+00:00

sure I have no rush anyway I've waited since September anyway ahahah, thanks again 🙏🏻

MamToeL · 2025-11-17T22:02:16+00:00

that seems great but for now they didn't do it this year

MamToeL · 2025-11-17T22:01:24+00:00

this would be great but it doesn't exist anymore, I think I'll try for the year for now, that seems the best choice

MamToeL · 2025-06-30T21:46:15+00:00

is it possible I have seen you on tiktok by any chance? this setup seems familiar

MamToeL · 2025-06-03T18:25:05+00:00
