The M5 MacBook Pro has just been announced, and just like the past few generations, it's more of an internal speed bump than a dramatic overhaul to one of the best MacBooks you can buy.

Bear in mind that we're only seeing the standard M5 chip. We'll have to wait for M5 Pro and M5 Max, which will come later down the line.

Just like the M4 MacBook Pro, we're seeing similar specs for the laptop itself — same webcam, same great (but optional) nano-texture glass for minimizing reflectivity and the same port array packed into that same utilitarian design.

But the real boost comes from M5. And you're getting these iterative updates for the same starting price of $1,599. Pre-orders open today (October 15th), and the official launch date is set for October 22nd.
