I find myself in the market for a new laptop due to unforeseen circumstances. I recently came across some news suggesting that the M5 iPad Pro could be delayed until September or October, and the M5 MacBook Pro might not arrive until early 2026. I am curious about the reliability of these rumors and what could be causing such delays, aside from any profit motivations from Tim Cook. I have been considering purchasing from Costco due to their generous 90-day return policy.
However, if the M5 MacBook Pro is indeed delayed, it complicates my decision. If Apple were to launch the M5 iPad Pro in May, I might consider buying it with the idea of trading it in later when the M5 or M6 MacBook Pro is released. Although I have some reservations about Apple’s design choices—like creating overly thin devices that lead to heat issues or reducing battery life—I still feel that I would likely opt for the M6 MacBook Pro upon its release. The presence of a notch also doesn’t appeal to me, and I don’t have a strong desire for an OLED screen, as I find the current display adequate for my needs.
Ultimately, these potential delays and design concerns are making my purchasing decision more challenging. I want to make an informed choice, especially if there are changes in Apple’s product lineup on the horizon.
