Tom’s Hardware says the laptop keeps its existing design and starts at $1,999, or $1,899 with an education discount. Pre-orders are due to open on 28 October at 10:10 a.m. Pacific time, with shipping expected on 6 November.
The report also gives Apple’s claimed comparison: up to 1.3 times faster LLM prompt processing than the M5 14-inch MacBook Pro. That is a company performance claim relayed by Tom’s Hardware, not an independent benchmark.
