Decent price given the specs. Would be killer deal if this was the m5 pro chip instead of base m5 chip

Is this a good deal? I need a macbook for dj'n but would also like it to be useful in everyday computing. Yes I know, the specs are overkill, but I want it to last operating system upgrades.

Yup! Not bad but not jump worthy. Odd ball spec for base but if you need the RAM without beefier GPU, then can't go wrong!

HOWEVER, m5 pro 24gb is same price so ...

If you don't need the extra RAM, I would say get the M5 Pro chip rather than this M5. It is the same price and the M5 Pro is significantly better.

The M5 Pro chip is the same price but 24gb RAM. I would say get that instead of this if you don't need the extra RAM 24gb vs 36gb.
The M5 Pro chip will be significantly better.

NOTE: This is an M5 chip on a Pro Laptop, not the M5 Pro chip.
If this is an M5 Pro chip, then it's a good deal.
This is a decent deal, though.

Yes, but you also have 24GB memory selected (M5 Pro from other post) instead of 32GB (M5 from this post).

My thoughts exactly. M5 without the extra cores - just buy the m4.

Significantly better in specs, sure, but hardly noticeable difference for the majority of MacBook users. You're looking at $2199 for an M5 Pro with less memory (24GB).
If you care about playing taxing games or render times, then upgrade. If you're just looking for the best overall MacBook experience on a budget, this is a great choice.
Seeing that the MBP M5 starts at $1,699 now, this is a great deal. And you get all the benefits of a MacBook Pro - my favorite being ProMotion (which the Air still lacks).

The pricing have changed but they were at the same price on sale for $1799.The M5 Pro version is significantly better and user will notice not only in CPU (15 vs 10) and 16GPU (16 vs 10) but also the M5 Pro is WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 7 whereas the M5 is WIFI 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.
