MacBook Pro M5 Review: A runner working on VO2 max, not sprint speed

If the MacBook Pro lineup were a team of endurance athletes, the M5 14-inch would be the runner who shaved a few seconds off last year’s 10K time. Not because of a revolutionary new training method, but because they pushed a little harder, breathed a little deeper, and leaned on a slightly improved aerobic engine. This laptop is the VO2 max increment. Its improvement will be noticeable to enthusiasts, and irrelevant to spectators; meaningful only if you measure its performance obsessively.


That’s the M5 MacBook Pro for you in runners speak. It is still elite, still efficient, and still the machine almost anyone can rely on. But it is unmistakably incremental.
