Apple MacBook Pro M5 2025 14 inch

Design and Build

The 2025 MacBook Pro M5 best price in kenya is ksh 240,000- ksh 290,000.shop for the MacBook Pro M5 in kenya now at mobihub electronics kenya.it continues Apple’s tradition of precision engineering, with a unibody aluminum chassis that maintains the sleek minimalism of its predecessors. The design is slightly thinner and lighter than the M3 generation, achieved through more compact logic boards and improved thermal management. Apple offers it in standard Silver and Space Black finishes, with a new color option—Titanium Gray—for the higher-end models.

The chassis retains its robust rigidity, with a recycled aluminum frame and more sustainable materials across internal components. The MacBook Pro M5 remains available in 14-inch and 16-inch display sizes, both with ultra-thin bezels and a notch for the upgraded FaceTime camera.

Display

Apple continues using the Liquid Retina XDR display based on mini-LED technology, now with improved local dimming control and higher peak brightness—up to 1800 nits HDR and 650 nits SDR. The ProMotion adaptive refresh rate supports up to 120Hz, offering smoother animations and scrolling.

Color accuracy has been further refined with True Tone calibration improvements, 10-bit color depth, and full support for the P3 wide color gamut. The display also features an anti-reflective nano-texture glass option on high-end configurations for professionals working in bright environments.

Performance and M5 Chip

At the core is Apple’s M5 chip, the fifth generation of Apple Silicon. Built on a 3-nanometer process, it integrates more transistors for improved efficiency and power density. The chip comes in three variants:

• M5

• M5 Pro

• M5 Max

The M5 architecture brings a new generation of high-performance cores (codenamed “Hercules”) and high-efficiency cores that further balance power and battery life. Performance gains are notable:

• Up to 35% faster CPU performance than the M3 Max.

• Up to 45% faster GPU performance, featuring improved ray tracing and mesh shading.

• A next-generation Neural Engine with 20% more cores and hardware-accelerated transformer support for on-device AI and machine learning workflows.

The M5 integrates unified memory (RAM) directly with the SoC, supporting configurations up to 128GB of LPDDR5X memory, delivering over 800GB/s memory bandwidth on the M5 Max.

Battery and Efficiency

Battery life remains a strong point. The 14-inch model delivers up to 20 hours of video playback, and the 16-inch model extends to 24 hours, thanks to the M5’s improved efficiency and an optimized macOS power management system.

Fast charging through MagSafe 4 enables up to 50% charge in 30 minutes, and the power brick includes dual USB-C outputs for peripheral charging.

Ports and Connectivity

Apple maintains a diverse port selection:

• 3 × Thunderbolt 5 (USB4 v2) ports

• 1 × HDMI 2.2 (supporting 8K output at 60Hz)

• 1 × SDXC UHS-II card reader

• 3.5mm high-impedance headphone jack

• MagSafe 4 power connector

The Thunderbolt 5 ports now support up to 240W Power Delivery and faster external GPU and storage bandwidth. Wireless connectivity includes Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0, enabling faster data transfers and lower latency connections for peripherals.

Keyboard, Trackpad, and Audio

The keyboard retains the Magic Keyboard mechanism with refined stability and quieter key travel. It includes a full-height function row with Touch ID and a new programmable action key that can trigger custom macros or launch applications.

The Force Touch trackpad is slightly larger, offering more precise haptics and gesture feedback. Audio performance is exceptional, with a six-speaker system featuring dual force-cancelling woofers and Spatial Audio support for Dolby Atmos. The microphone array offers studio-quality input with improved noise rejection and higher signal-to-noise ratio for content creators.

Camera and Face ID

The front camera is upgraded to 1080p Ultra Wide, with support for Center Stage and Neural Engine-based image enhancement. For the first time on a MacBook, Apple includes Face ID integrated into the notch, secured by a dedicated hardware enclave for biometric authentication.

Storage

Internal SSD storage starts at 512GB and goes up to 8TB, offering faster read/write speeds through next-generation NAND interfaces—up to 9GB/s sequential performance.

macOS 15 (Sequoia) Integration

The MacBook Pro M5 runs macOS 15 Sequoia, optimized for the M5 chip’s AI and machine learning capabilities. Features include:

• On-device AI assistants for photo editing, transcription, and summarization.

• Adaptive Performance Scaling, which adjusts thermal limits based on usage patterns.

• Continuity 3.0, enhancing cross-device workflows between Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

• Dynamic Color Mapping, which adjusts display tone based on ambient lighting and app context.

Thermals and Acoustics

A redesigned dual-fan cooling system allows for quieter operation under load. The fans engage less frequently due to M5’s efficiency, while vapor chamber cooling on the M5 Max models enhances sustained performance for heavy workloads like 8K video editing or 3D rendering.

Sustainability

Apple emphasizes its environmental commitments with the M5 MacBook Pro. It uses 100% recycled aluminum, 100% recycled rare earth elements, and a low-carbon manufacturing process. Packaging is fully fiber-based and plastic-free.
