MacBook Pro 16 M5 Max roars ahead, but upgrade is for power users only

TL;DR Summary
Verge’s testing shows the 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M5 Max delivers major speed and storage gains over the M1 Pro/Max, including a substantially faster CPU and GPU and faster SSDs, plus Wi‑Fi 7 and Thunderbolt 5. But at a steep price, many users won’t need the upgrade; those doing heavy 4K/8K editing or GPU workloads will see meaningful benefits.
