For the starting version. Each part is measured the same way for every laptop (processor and graphics from benchmark results) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Very solid metal build
  • Bright, accurate screen with strong HDR and an optional matte coating
  • Quiet for normal work
  • Clear speed jump over M4
  • Good battery life and excellent sound
  • Excellent battery life
  • Keeps full speed on battery

Cons

  • Single fan becomes loud at full load
  • Expensive memory and storage upgrades
  • Screen flickers via PWM (at a high rate)
  • Hardly anything can be serviced
  • One-year warranty, so-so webcam
  • No Wi-Fi 7
  • No new design
  • NotebookcheckOct 2025

    Tested 32GB/1TB with nano-texture: the quickest single-core chip on the market plus a superb screen, but the fan gets loud and the base model lacks Wi-Fi 7.

  • TechRadarOct 2025

    Tested M5 10-core CPU / 10-core GPU, 16GB/1TB: a superb workstation with one of the best laptop screens and 18h14m web browsing (21h43m video), but only a small step up from M3/M4 models.

  • ITProNov 2025

    Tested 14-inch M5 (config not stated): a great laptop with a bright screen and a big GPU jump; 20h31m in ITPro's looped video test, though most office users won't need its graphics power.

  • T3Dec 2025

    Tested 32GB/1TB with nano-texture screen and 70W charger: a clear speed upgrade, especially for AI work, but otherwise a small update over the M4 model; T3 Platinum Award.
