This week, Apple unveiled a refreshed 14-inch MacBook Pro powered by the all-new M5 chip . Just like the preceding M4 model, it starts at $1,599 with a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage. Most of its specs are M4 holdovers, actually, but we'll get to that in a minute.

The M5 MacBook Pro is now available for preorder at Amazon , Best Buy , and in the Apple Store ahead of its formal launch on Wednesday, Oct. 22.

The new MacBook Pro offers "3.5x the AI performance and up to 1.6x faster graphics than the previous generation" thanks to that M5 chip, Apple said in a press release . Its CPU is also faster, though the company didn't specify by how much.

The M5 MacBook Pro can be configured with up to 4TB of storage, up from a max of 1TB in the M4 model.
