Apple’s flagship MacBook Pro laptop is widely expected to get the M5 chip this year, but what else could we see? Here’s everything we know about it so far.The Latest Tech News, Delivered to Your Inbox

Some past reports have claimed that Apple will move away from the IPS LCD displays that are currently offered on MacBook Pro models in favour of OLED by 2025. That was initially suggested by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, although it was contradicted by display analyst Ross Young who believed it would be 2026.

That’s according to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, at least. In his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman explained that the transition to M5 chips will begin “alongside new MacBook Pro models in the fall” of 2025. After that, “we should get an M5 iPad Pro by the first half of 2026,” Gurman argued.

The M5 is expected to debut with new MacBook Pro models, rather than the iPad Pro. When it comes to revolutions in technology, few have been as marked as when Apple made the switch to in-house silicon.

TL;DR: Get a refurbished 2017 Apple MacBook Pro with Touch Bar for only $377.97 (Reg $1,499). While not all technological advances are unreservedly welcome, it’s truly wonderful to find that hardware has finally advanced to the point where we don’t need cutting-edge laptops.
