Apple is launching updated MacBook Pros with new M5 Pro and M5 Max chips and double the starting storage, the company announced Tuesday. They’ll start shipping on Wednesday, March 11, and preorders are open now. FYI: All configurations include a free $100 gift card at Best Buy as part of its Apple Shopping Event, live through Sunday, March 8.<\/p>\n

The new MacBook Pros will be available in 14- and 16-inch sizes. The M5 Pro variants will start at $2,199 and $2,699, respectively, with discounts of up to $200 for education shoppers who buy direct. They come with 1TB of base storage. Apple recommends them “for users running complex workflows, like coders optimizing algorithms and photographers processing massive image libraries,” according to a company press release. <\/p>\n

While the starting prices of both new MacBook Pro variants are higher than their predecessors’, the latter’s base models had half the storage. When configured identically, with the same amount of storage and RAM, their prices haven’t changed:<\/p>\n
