Apple 14-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro, 2TB

If you’re looking for a laptop that can handle basically anything you throw at it, the MacBook Pro with Apple’s M5 Max chip is built for the job. It’s actually one of our favorite laptops. The 18-core CPU, 32-core GPU and 36GB of unified memory are designed to handle large creative workloads, software development and AI-powered tasks. The 2TB SSD gives you plenty of room for large projects while delivering blazing-fast load and transfer speeds.

Apple’s gorgeous 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display offers up to 1,600 nits of peak brightness with exceptional contrast, making it ideal for photo and video editing. Despite all that power, the MacBook Pro still delivers all-day battery life whether you’re plugged in or working on the go. It also packs a 12-megapixel Center Stage webcam, six-speaker Spatial Audio system and Thunderbolt 5 connectivity for professional-grade workflows.
