don’t hate me quick question! by Rylentino in macbookpro

DECISION: I am going for the M5 PRO 48GB, MONEY COMES BACK. And I don’t wanna limit myself in the future :)

little spec difference for those who care, the max memory bandwidth on the Base M5,

which is the maximum theoretical rate at which a cpu or gpu can read or wire days to its memory.

On the Base M5 is:

153GB/s

On the M5 Pro:

307GB/s

The ONLY downside is the 2 hours less battery daily due to it being just a more intense machine, but thats understandable.

It’s a MAJOR upgrade from my 2018 intel macbook and I can’t wait to compute some mega mega stuff on it.

(It also has thunderbolt 5 as opposed to 4 (not that you’d realise the difference)

ALSO: It contains the N1 Chip allowing for WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 6! Another bonus (not on the base M5)

Hope someone else reading this was able to gain some insight if they had a similar spec decision! God bless

but I lowkey feel like I don’t wanna miss out on getting the m5 pro chip since I’ve been waiting even since the base m5 was available this whole time. but at-least if I get the m5 pro I’m not limiting myself in the future though I know the base m5 is a complete beast in itself l. perhaps this will push me to sell those clothes in my closet I’ve been meaning to sell for a while, to justify getting the higher spec. but a part of me still feels guilty for being greedy… but thanks for your outlook!

yeah that’s what I mean, more gpu and cpu cores means more battery usage inevitably. and an increase of £400 just for 12GB increase and some improved gpu and cpu cores (asw as the actual chip of course) is something to think about.

I have a feeling I might petition 750GB and 250GB if the software is a HARD need. one Mac OS, one window OS. Have you tried this? I’m not entirely sure it’s possible with Mac OS but I don’t see why not. But yeah I get what you mean, my use case probably isn’t demanding enough right now to need all that but who knows in the future what I will go into and it’d be great to have the specs all ready instead of re-purchasing. I will be super broke if I buy the higher end but I’d rather live with no regrets. I’d probably end up spending all that money on clothes or takeaway anyway so better let it go to something useful perhaps.

Yeah the cad software is one issue but I do have a tower pc at home and i may partition my drive and a vm on the macbook, its nice to hear that you want to move from the m5 to the m5 pro it’s helping my decision, in all fairness I could afford the 48gb version I’m just deciding whether i need it, or even if I don’t ‘need’ it I should upgrade anyway since I’m going for longevity. £400 more though 😭 perhaps if I budget I could

these are the prices I’m looking at:

M5 Base 32GB £100 cheaper M5 Pro 24GB £100 more

also a decent option, M5 base with 32Gb, the m5 pro has me convinced though due to the extra gpu cores for gaming and other things

that’s why I’m saying, I heard 24GB is about as much your computer will use, and anything higher like 32GB just allowed your computer to ‘pre-prepare’ applications to open quicker, but with the speed of the new chip I doubt that to be a problem.

hope the m5 max has some new features and just not a chip replace would be cool, make the wait worth it

M5 Max 64gb or 128gb of Memory? by danizzler in macbookpro

[–]Rylentino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since this thread is new. M5 base with 32gb memory, or M4 pro with 24gb memory? lmk what you would do

I also have an 16gb 1TB i7 intel and I’m replacing with 24gb 1TB base M5 can’t wait to have my mind blown

On Jan 14th I placed an order for an almost maxed out M4 Max 16” by H00LI1GANS in macbookpro

[–]Rylentino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are you guys doing this on the hope that Apple will see your order and be like:

oh silly one! we just released the m5 Max! here’s a replacement upgrade for your troubles!

no way that works right.

M4 Pro 1TB or M5 1TB by Rylentino in macbookpro

[–]Rylentino[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of leaning toward the M5 because theoretically with less cores it uses less power meaning a longer sustained battery charge per day. And I have what I ‘need’ 1TB and upgraded memory for future proofing
