We've already tested the chips inside Apple's PROLED MacBook Pro, and here's what to expect

Apple has just announced the MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display, and not only have we already gone hands-on with it (spoiler alert: it's jaw-dropping), we've already tested the chip inside.

You see, it packs the M5 Pro and the M5 Max — two chips we've already benchmarked extensively in the mini-LED MacBook Pros. This is good news for buyers: You don't have to go in without knowing what you're getting.

Of course, there are some differences that may change results here. For example, this is a significantly lighter laptop with an OLED display — two variables (battery capacity and screen) that may change a couple things here. But we already get a good insight from these numbers.

Here's what kind of performance we expect to see from the new MacBook Pro and how we expect it to stack up when faced with some of the best laptops.

14-inch from $2,899, 16-inch from $3,399 (M5 Pro); M5 Max from $4,499 (14-inch) and $4,799 (16-inch)

14-inch from $2,499, 16-inch from $2,999 (M5 Pro); M5 Max from $4,099 (14-inch)

Yes, with the touch sensor built into the display and a redesigned hinge

M5 Pro (15- or 18-core CPU, 16- or 20-core GPU) or M5 Max (18-core CPU, 32- or 40-core GPU)

As expected, Apple decided to skip the M6 Pro and M6 Max for this round of MacBooks. Instead, the focus is solely on other upgrades, while the chips remain the same. We did, however, get the MacBook Pro M6 a day before Apple's event, but that one doesn't have the PROLED screen that these new models do.
