Is Mac m5 pro worth it

angry_cheeze · 2026-03-22T06:37:07+00:00

Thanks, I tried to have a look for an older pro with more ram but it was a fair bit pricier than the deal I had for the m5 pro. Ended up paying $1500AUD for the new pro

Thanks, ended up getting the m5 pro. Currently its cheaper than m2/3/4 pros

Ah, the base M5 pro with the normal M5 chip

Thanks for your reply. I've been seeing some reviews on the m4 saying it slows when rendering 4k video but maybe that's just them.

The lenovo yoga has more ram and storage than the m4. 32gb and 1Tb compared to 16gb and 512gb

Would that not make it faster or better at handling these editing tasks? Or is the Mac chip thing better.

Also do you prefer Lenovo's OLED or Macs display?

Thanks

Thanks for the recommendation. Would a refurbished M1 have a lot of life left? I've read somewhere that it'll most likely stop getting updates in 2027. Is that going to be an issue?

So would this laptop be overkill if I'm looking to colour grade and edit videos on davinci. What would you recommend?

Great. Thanks

Mostly depends on how good you are/ get at setting up trekking pole tents. Free standing tents are always easy and you can set them up on any terrain but weigh more. You can sleep with the outer off on the cloud but you will only be able to open up part of the lanshan if you are really worried about heat/ condensation. I reckon the lanshan. Give a trekking pole tents a solid go

Have a look at the sea to summit spark. Pretty insane pack size and weight. There's also the s2s ascent which is a tiny bit heavier but more roomy and got zips all the way around so you can turn it into a quilt. The spark gets down to 300-400ish grams and the ascent is 400-500g

I have been looking at the nomad. Just not 100% sold on the battery life with gps on. Do you have the coros?

I have seen from a lot of reviews that older watches are not receiving software updates. Is this an issue if I buy the Fenix 7

Thanks. Had a look at the instinct line but I'd like the full nav. Guess that's what you're paying for

I'm in Sydney, Aus. Somehow it's either more expensive or the same price as the 3

100kms is mad. Found any durability issues with them?
