Apple updates MacBook Pro lineup

Apple has raised the starting storage capacity of its MacBook Pro models to 1 TB while increasing the base price. The 512 GB version previously sold for 1,799 euros when it first launched, but is now only available through third-party retailers like Darty.

New MacBook Pro models expected soon

Apple is expected to unveil new MacBook Pro models on October 28, with reports suggesting the inclusion of an entry-level model featuring the newer M6 chip. However, it is anticipated that the new models will not be priced below 2,000 euros.

Features of the discounted MacBook Pro M5

The MacBook Pro M5 available at Darty includes a high-quality mini-LED display, comprehensive connectivity options, long battery life, and a cooling fan that helps during extended use or in hot conditions. These features make it suitable for demanding tasks.

Performance and upcoming release

The M5 chip in this model delivers strong performance, comparable to previous Pro chips, and is described as "boring but extremely effective" in testing. Apple has also sent out invitations for an event on October 28, which is likely focused on the MacBook Pro Touch Bar.
