    I have a 2015 MBP that I was hoping to finally replace in the fall, I guess I can wait a few more months, but this is a huge bummer

      If you’ve already waited this long and your MacBook is still working, I’d definitely just wait and save for the M5. If you weren’t planning to get top spec, now’s your chance to save for it. Since you kept your last one so long, it’s worth it in the long run.

      Honestly, I wouldn’t wait. I think it’s unlikely the M5 series have the same bump over the previous generation than the M4 did. Add the threat of tariffs, and I think the current gen is a pretty strong value proposition.

        Yeah everything I have read is the performance bump to M5 will be modest at best and all the fun rumored stuff like OLED isn’t coming until at least the M6 models.

        My work got me an M4 Pro at the beginning of the year and it has been awesome to use, M4s are definitely super tempting.
