Technology without compromise: MacBook Pro 14 2025 review 

The release of the updated Apple MacBook Pro 14 (2025) was a landmark event in the world of professional technology. The new laptop demonstrated how far modern computer technology has advanced. Combining high performance, the best battery life of any MacBook, and a stylish design, this model is ideal for working with video, 3D graphics, code, and other resource-intensive tasks. 

Release Date and Key Features 

On October 15, 2025, Apple unveiled the new MacBook Pro 14. Even before the global launch, it was clear that this model would set new standards for professional laptops. The updated architecture and new chip are aimed at people who value stability and performance when working with graphics, video, and AI applications. We will provide additional information about the launch in Azerbaijan on ispace.az. 

Display 

The model features a 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display. It provides peak brightness of up to 1600 nits in HDR and up to 1000 nits in SDR. These parameters make the screen an ideal tool for designers, photographers, video editors, and anyone who values high image clarity. Smooth scrolling is achieved thanks to ProMotion technology and an adaptive refresh rate of 1 to 120 Hz. 

There is a 2025 version of the MacBook Pro 14 with a nano-texture coating on the screen. It minimizes glare without losing image clarity and contrast. This is useful if you create or edit studio-quality visual content. Especially if you have to work in offices with bright lighting or your desk is located near a window. 

The model supports connecting up to two high-resolution external monitors. If you often work outside the office or take your laptop with you on business trips, you will surely appreciate the light weight of the new Apple laptop — only 1.55 kg. 

Processor and Graphics 

The key update to the 2025 Apple MacBook Pro 14 is the new M5 chip. It includes 10 CPU cores, 10 GPU cores, and 16 Neural Engine cores. Its main features are: 

• a focus on artificial intelligence tasks; 

• improved graphics performance; 

• increased computing power. 

Compared to M1-based models, the performance of the new processor has increased significantly, especially in multi-threaded tasks, and the graphics chip with a neural accelerator is 6.8 times faster. This is noticeable in image processing, working with models in LM Studio and Draw Things, as well as in powerful next-generation games. 

The speed of processing AI-related tasks has also increased. In terms of code compilation, modeling, and visualization, Apple’s new laptop demonstrates capabilities comparable to professional desktop computers. 

When compared to Intel-based laptops, the difference is even more noticeable: the MacBook Pro M5 is 5.5 times faster, and up to 86 times faster in tasks related to artificial intelligence. The 2025 MacBook Pro 14 shows how much system efficiency can increase thanks to new architecture and software optimization. 

RAM and Storage 

The base configuration of the device has 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD. For users who work with large amounts of data, versions with 32 GB of unified memory and up to 4 TB of storage are available. 

Updated memory modules have made the data exchange speed between the GPU and the processor even faster. This is especially important when working with data analysis, 3D rendering, video editing, and professional applications. 

Camera, Audio, and Input Devices 

The 12MP front camera with Center Stage automatically adjusts the frame so you always stay in the center, even if you move around during video calls. Desk View mode is also available: it allows you to stay in the frame during a video call and show your desktop to the other person at the same time — a useful feature for remote work and online presentations. 

The six-speaker system with Spatial Audio support delivers studio-quality surround sound. This is convenient for comfortable video viewing and precise sound control when creating tracks, editing, and voiceovers. 

The Magic Keyboard has an improved travel mechanism and convenient adjustable backlighting. The Force Touch trackpad is convenient thanks to its high tactile responsiveness, making control even more comfortable. 

Overall Impressions and Conclusion 

In the updated version of the MacBook Pro 14 based on the M5 processor, the company has focused on balancing compactness, performance, and battery life. Improved AI capabilities, increased graphics performance, and up to 24 hours of battery life without recharging make this model a versatile tool for professionals. 

If we compare this model with the MacBook Pro featuring the M4 Pro chip, which also boasts impressive specifications, the new M5 version still wins in several key areas. To confirm this, we’ve prepared a brief technical overview. The details are in the table below.
