Apple Silicon is a formidable little bit of engineering and innovation, impressing me, time and time once more, with its efficiency and headroom, however I’ve run into one constant stumbling block: too many tabs. Now, for the primary time, I’ll have discovered, within the MacE book Pro 14-inch M5, a system that is impervious to tab stuffing and by no means reveals me that dreaded spinning pinwheel.
I’ve been utilizing the MacE book Pro 14-inch M5 for nearly per week, placing apart the equally spectacular M4 mannequin in favor of a system that guarantees 20% higher multithreaded efficiency.

With just about each Apple Silicon Mac because the iconic MacE book Air M1, there’s all the time come a second in my work the place Chrome tabs (I run Chrome as an alternative of Safari as a result of my workplace usually runs on Google apps like Gmail, Drive, Meets, and many others.) and different apps I’m normally working like Adobe Photoshop decelerate or cease responding and I see the spinning rainbow pinwheel as I await the system to get better and return management to me.
To be clear, the MacE book Air and MacE book Pro by no means crash. There is not any blue display of demise in macOS (together with the beautiful, new Liquid Glass-encased Tahoe), only a slowdown, or what looks like a backup on a busy thoroughfare. I normally attempt to wait patiently for the system, then set about closing browser tabs.
Things have been completely different, although, with my MacE book Pro 14-inch M5, which is configured with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage ($1,799 / £1,799 / AU$2,799).
As I write this, I’m at the moment working
- 37 Chrome tabs
- 2 Safari tabs
- 6 ChatGPT Atlas tabs
- Photoshop
- Quicktime
throughout two screens. The MacE book Pro 14-inch M5 appears not simply comfy with the scenario however peppy.
Switching between Photoshop and my infinite tabs just isn’t an issue. If something, the system appears hungry for extra. As I’m penning this, I’ve opened a half dozen extra tabs in Safari and as many in Chrome (plus a couple of in Atlas).
Did the MacE book Pro 14 simply smile at me and say, “Is that every one you’ve got acquired?”
I really feel like, for the primary time, Apple has tapped into the total potential of Apple Silicon and productiveness for the plenty. Yes, there are those that will produce graphics, music, coding, and video games on these workhorses, however for the overwhelming majority of the workforce, it is the browser and tabs that matter. We all stuff tabs down our computer systems’ gullets.
Who cares if Apple introduced precisely zero design and exterior {hardware} updates? I’m thrilled that the MacE book Pro 14-inch M5 is lastly as much as the tab…or, er… process.
