Apple M5 10 Core
Opinion and specs

Our verdict

High-end

The Apple M5 10 Core is a high-end processor. It is a low-power chip that still performs like the mid-range ones: it draws what an ultraportable draws and performs like a work laptop. It came out in 2025.

It is currently fitted in 26 laptops from $1260, at an average price of $1673.

Above $2299 there are clearly better options: for that money the Apple M5 Pro 15 Core is 83% faster. That is the sensible ceiling.
