MacBook Pro (M5, 14-inch, 2025)

There are some compatibility issues at the moment with M5 chips (including base, pro, and max chips) and some pieces of software and hardware, but these are just bugs because these chips are still fairly new. Apple changed the core layout on the new chips, which messes with some low-level software,

I haven’t used the newest ones, but I use an M1 Mac Studio and an M3 MacBook Pro and they both work great with Pro Tools. I do a little bit of everything. Film, music, podcasts. I’ve never had any serious issues and I’ve pushed both machines pretty hard. If people are saying the M5 is causing issues

I had a ThinkPad in my previous gig and now I have the MacBook m5 and bought myself a private m4 pro 48. I hate windows now

You don't get the good battery life, portable package, stable software and great performance anywhere else cu

I wish there was. Microsoft has no concept of privacy. AI examining your desktop with recall, no “no” button just “Remind me in 3 days” and the forced Microsoft accounts. I have an M5 MBP alongside my gaming PC with Windows 11. Never had any pop ups on the Mac saying “Back up now” or forced updates.

And anaconda, along with spyder being natively offered on Mac, though you need a workaround for pygmili, and albeit arcgis pro isn’t Mac native, I believe you could literally just use a virtual windows runner (like parallels) on Mac to run Arcgis pro if you really need to, OP also stated that he wou
