Apple has unveiled its latest 14-inch MacBook Pro in India, featuring the company’s next-generation M5 Apple Silicon chip. The new processor marks a significant leap in performance, with Apple claiming up to 3.5 times faster on-device AI capability compared with the previous M4 chip.
The M5 chip introduces an upgraded GPU and a neural accelerator integrated into each core, designed to boost machine learning tasks and on-device AI processing. According to Apple, the chip also enhances CPU efficiency, improves graphics rendering, and increases memory bandwidth, making it well suited for intensive workloads such as running large language models (LLMs) locally. SSD speeds have also been improved to ensure faster file transfers and quicker app launches.
The new 14-inch MacBook Pro is available for pre-order and will go on sale in India from October 22. It will be offered in Space Black and Silver colour options, and sold both online and through Apple’s retail outlets in Delhi (Saket), Mumbai (BKC), Bengaluru (Hebbal), and Pune (Koregaon).
In India, the MacBook Pro with a standard display starts at Rs 1,69,900 for the 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD configuration, while higher-end variants with up to 32GB RAM and 4TB SSD go up to Rs 3,29,900. The nano-texture display version begins at Rs 1,84,900 and extends to Rs 3,44,900, depending on configuration.
