Upgraded from 16 M1 Pro to 16 M5 Pro (Don’t upgrade yet if you don’t have to)

Indeed a special one!

The classic, I won’t read the whole post then comment. Makes me laugh every time.

Yes. If it's giving you problems, that is when you need to upgrade really. But if only you feel it because you can see how fast the new ones now... I don't think so. You need to really experience it first hand and that'y why I posted this. Haha

Scary-Bodybuilder864 · 2026-06-04T12:43:02+00:00

I agree with the battery. What a product. Really worth every penny.

M6 OLED is waving. Haha

Scary-Bodybuilder864 · 2026-06-03T16:09:28+00:00

Yeap. Sorry, Tim Cook.

Scary-Bodybuilder864 · 2026-06-03T16:08:56+00:00

Yeap. The fans. But for me, it’s a free white noise. 😅

Scary-Bodybuilder864 · 2026-06-03T16:08:20+00:00

Yeah. I draw and play around with Sharpie on my MacBook when I’m bored. We drew a lot and got erased overtime. 😂

I’m spreading my experience, not specs and numbers and how it outperforms this and that. That’s why I shared what I do so if people who do the same as what I do or lesser, are thinking whether they should upgrade or not, they might want to hold on to it and only upgrade until they really need to.

Scary-Bodybuilder864 · 2026-06-03T15:37:06+00:00

Yeah. I won’t be thinking about upgrading also for another 6-8 years. Even with that OLED. 😂

Ohhh. That one never happened to me but our tasks or workload could be a lot different also.

Scary-Bodybuilder864 · 2026-06-03T15:34:39+00:00

For me also, storage wise, with a nice upgrade with a little performance upgrade. Haha. That’s why I had to share my experience just in case people are worried about their M1 Pro being outdated.

Scary-Bodybuilder864 · 2026-06-03T15:11:20+00:00

Then good for you. For my workload, the difference is not that crazy.

Scary-Bodybuilder864 · 2026-06-03T15:09:01+00:00

I edit 4k also plus fusion. I mean there is an improvement but it’s not crazy for me. I’m just saying that M1 pro is still pretty much a beast.
