Apple has recently brought out new MacBook Pro models featuring PROLED XDR displays, with the first shipments arriving to customers on Friday. These laptops are powered by the same M5 Pro and M5 Max chips as the models equipped with mini-LED screens, resulting in virtually identical performance according to benchmark results. The multi-core CPU scores for the 16-inch MacBook Pro models in Geekbench 7 database are as follows: 16-inch MacBook Pro (Mini-LED, M5 Max) - 34,988; 16-inch MacBook Pro (PROLED XDR, M5 Max) - 34,904. Both models feature an 18-core CPU.
YouTube channel Max Tech observed that the bottom cover of the new MacBook Pro models has slightly recessed feet and now has only four pentalobe screws for securing it, as opposed to eight on earlier models. The speakers have been upgraded to deliver 50% deeper bass. Unlike the 16-inch/Mini-LED variant, the 16-inch/PROLED model has rounded bottom corners, contributing to a more uniform design.
One notable change is that the MacBook Pro's keyboard cannot be replaced individually, as all parts, including the top case and battery, are integrated. Rounded display corners are a new feature on the PROLED XDR models, contrasting with only the rounded top corners on the mini-LED versions. John Gruber, from Daring Fireball, revealed that the illuminated Apple logo on the new MacBook Pro lids functions with a custom white LED, unlike the previous models where it was illuminated by the LCD's backlight.
Apple representative's response to the query about the illuminated logo was, "Because it's awesome."
