Apple Mac mini M5 Pro (2026) – Silver

Give your editing suite, design desk or development setup a dedicated Mac with room for the gear you use every day. The M5 Pro brings a 15-core CPU and 16-core GPU to a desktop that takes up just 12.7 cm square. This configuration pairs 24GB of unified memory with a 512GB SSD and connects to up to three external displays.

M5 Pro performance for demanding workflows

The 15-core CPU pairs five super cores with ten performance cores for tasks like compiling code and exporting video. The 16-core GPU supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing for compatible 3D tools, while a 16-core Neural Engine and GPU Neural Accelerators support compatible AI-assisted workflows.

• Video and motion graphics. Work with 4K footage and ProRes projects using a dedicated media engine that accelerates H.264, HEVC, ProRes and ProRes RAW. AV1 decoding supports playback of compatible media.
• Photography and design. Review RAW images, work with layered files and keep reference material open while you edit.
• Software development and audio. Run your editor, builds and test tools together, or work on multitrack sessions with plug-ins.

24GB of unified memory and a 512GB SSD

With 307 GB/s of memory bandwidth, the CPU and GPU can work from the same pool of memory. The 512GB SSD gives you space for your apps and current projects. If you work with large footage libraries or archives, Thunderbolt 5 lets you connect compatible external storage at your desk.
