Blazing-fast M5 Max performance

The 18-core CPU and up to 40 GPU cores are designed for graphics-heavy production. A 16-core Neural Engine supports compatible on-device AI features, and hardware-accelerated ray tracing helps with rendering in supported 3D tools.

• Video production. Work across multicam timelines and exports with two video encode engines and two ProRes encode and decode engines. The media engine accelerates H.264, HEVC, ProRes and ProRes RAW.
• Motion graphics and 3D. Build effects layers, preview scenes and refine lighting or materials with the GPU.
• Photo and design production. Develop RAW batches and keep layered artwork and references in view as you work.

The 32-core GPU and 36GB of unified memory deliver 460 GB/s of memory bandwidth for multicam editing, motion graphics and demanding photo work. The 40-core GPU and 48GB of unified memory deliver 614 GB/s of memory bandwidth and more headroom for complex effects, larger 3D scenes and demanding apps running together. The 2TB SSD gives you room for applications and current projects, with Thunderbolt 5 available for compatible external storage.

Why this 2026 16-inch MacBook Pro stands out

Compared with the earlier 16-inch M5 Max with Liquid Retina XDR, this model changes the display and how you interact with it.

• 16.3-inch tandem OLED. A larger viewing area, deeper contrast and higher peak HDR brightness.
• Multi-Touch. Zoom, scroll and interact directly with supported apps.
• Dynamic Island. Keep supported live updates visible while you work.

The combination is especially useful if you review footage, images or layouts away from your main monitor and want a larger canvas on the notebook itself.

Choose the 36GB MacBook Pro M5 Max in Space Black for multicam editing and motion graphics, or the 48GB model in Space Black or Silver for bigger scenes and more demanding multitasking. Both come with a 2TB SSD and 16.3-inch PROLED XDR touchscreen.
