Unless you're looking for a better/brighter screen, longer battery life, better speakers and a USB-C port on both sides then yeah they're the same.

Yes but some people don't know that they sell MBPs without the pro chip. Just trying help. Chill out.

Not M5 pro for those looking.

Community Reviews

This MacBook Pro stands out as a higher-end 14 inch model with active cooling, a 10 core GPU configuration, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD, making it better suited to sustained workloads than an Air. The included 96 watt power supply also separates it from the 13 inch Air's 40 watt charger. The price is described as back to pre memory shortage levels, which adds to the appeal. The main hesitation is value versus cheaper Air options or used higher RAM M2 machines, especially if your workload will not push thermals hard.

No most that buy the pros get the base model..they're basically casual users that don't know what they're doing
All the more reason to highlight the distinction between Pro MacBooks with Pro chips and Pro MacBooks with Air chips, no?

Considering it's nearly impossible to find a site that will download content >1Gbps, I find it hard to believe anyone is going to experience a difference between 7 and 6E.
noone said anything about sites..just by mentioning that and not focusing on intranet I can tell you're a casual.
Usenet, all the enterprise cloud providers, steam etc, will easily saturate 1Gbps..this is 2026 and you're on an antiquated standard

Pro also has active cooling for better sustained performance.

You can close the gap on the air by sticking thermal pads in it. It pretty much becomes on par with the base pro at that point

They're not base air chips tho they're the 10 core gpu chips that upper config airs have..
Honestly with the price increases from ram and nand that apple did it's hard to tell people what to get..maybe some used m2 with higher ram is better for a "pro" user

Twice the price? I think you mean $70 more.... The 13" M5 MacBook Air with 1TB SSD is $1599.
Remember that the 13-inch MBA comes with a 40-watt power supply, while the MBP comes with a 96-watt one.

The price is genuinely the same before Apple imposed the memory-shortage tax. It feels like you've found a time machine!
I've ordered one. Thank you!

Definitely depends on their use case. For some people, the active cooling in the MB Pro is needed for sustained performance. I have an M2 Air with 24GB RAM and it gets really hot under some loads/a couple games.

The deal linked now shows the 16GB version out of stock, but the 24GB version at $1899. Still a decent deal overall.

**Edit: As of 8/31, the 24GB model is still in stock at $2099.
