MacBook Pro 14-inch M5 Max Chip

Product Description

The 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M5 Max chip is Apple’s most powerful option in this size class. It’s built for professionals who push their machines hard every day. Think video editors, 3D artists, software developers, and anyone working with massive files or demanding render pipelines. This isn’t an entry-level machine. It’s for people who’ve outgrown everything else on the list.

Two Configurations for Serious Workloads

The M5 Max chip comes in two core configurations, both designed for heavy lifting. The entry option pairs an 18-core CPU with a 32-core GPU. Step up further, and you’ll find the same 18-core CPU matched with a 40-core GPU instead. That extra GPU power translates directly into faster rendering, smoother multitasking, and quicker export times for video and creative work.

RAM and Storage Built for Massive Projects

Unified memory starts at 36GB on the base M5 Max configuration. Choose the higher-tier GPU option, and memory starts at 48GB, with further configurations available up to 64GB or even 128GB. That kind of headroom means you can run multiple heavy applications simultaneously without slowdown, whether that’s several editing timelines, large datasets, or resource-hungry design software.

Storage starts at 2TB by default across both configurations. If you need more space, options scale up to a massive 8TB. As always, both RAM and storage must be chosen at the time of purchase, since neither can be upgraded afterward.

Power Adapter to Match

Both M5 Max configurations ship with a 96W USB-C power adapter, giving you enough charging capacity to keep pace with the chip’s performance ceiling.

A Display Built for Precision Work

The M5 Max model keeps the same exceptional Liquid Retina XDR display found across the lineup. You get 1600 nits of peak HDR brightness, a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and ProMotion refresh rates up to 120Hz. For color-critical work, that level of accuracy matters.

Connectivity That Keeps Up

Like the M5 Pro, the M5 Max chip includes Thunderbolt 5, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 6. You’ll also find HDMI, an SDXC card slot, and MagSafe 3 charging built in.

All-Day Battery, Smarter Software

Battery life still reaches up to 24 hours. The laptop runs macOS Tahoe, bringing the new Liquid Glass design, smarter Spotlight search, and Continuity features that connect seamlessly with your iPhone. Security stays built in with Touch ID, Find My, and FileVault encryption.

The 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Max chip is the top of the line. If your work demands maximum performance, this is the configuration built to deliver it.
