MacBook Pro 16-inch M5 Pro with PROLED XDR Display (2026)

Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch M5 Pro with PROLED XDR Display (2026) – 24GB or 48GB RAM, 1TB SSD – Space Black or Silver

Work across a full editing timeline on a 16.3-inch tandem OLED touchscreen. Apple M5 Pro pairs an 18-core CPU and 20-core GPU with a 1TB SSD. Choose 24GB or 48GB of unified memory in Space Black or Silver.

Blazing-fast M5 Pro performance

The 18-core CPU and 20-core GPU handle compute-heavy work in a portable workstation. The 16-core Neural Engine supports compatible on-device AI features, and 307 GB/s of memory bandwidth gives the CPU and GPU fast access to shared data.

• Video production. Cut 4K footage and work with H.264, HEVC, ProRes and ProRes RAW in apps that use the dedicated media engine.
• Photography and design. Work through RAW batches, review layered files and leave references visible while you edit.
• Development and audio. Build and test in Xcode or run a multitrack session alongside your usual apps.

Choose 24GB for regular 4K editing, RAW photo work and software development when you usually focus on one demanding project at a time. Choose 48GB for larger layered projects, heavier multitasking or development environments that need more room to run alongside other apps. The 1TB 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 Pro 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 16-inch MacBook Pro M5 Pro with 24GB for regular editing, design and development, or 48GB if your workflow involves larger projects and more apps open at once. Both give you the same 1TB SSD and 16.3-inch PROLED XDR touchscreen.
