Apple’s 14-inch MacBook Pro gets a new M5 chip, paired with notable storage-related enhancements. The company says the base model now benefits from up to twice the SSD performance of the previous generation, which should translate to faster reads and writes. While Apple notes that it’s using the latest storage technology, it has not offered technical details or any benchmark results yet.

In addition, the 14-inch base configuration can now be optioned with up to 4TB of storage, double the prior maximum of 2TB. It’s worth noting that the top-end 14-inch and 16-inch models equipped with the M4 Pro/Max chips can still be configured with as much as 8TB of storage.

The updated 14-inch MacBook Pro is available to pre-order now and is set to launch on October 22. In the United States, pricing for the base model starts at $1,599.

Key points to know about the upgrade:

For context, the high-end M4 Pro and M4 Max variants retain higher maximum storage options, ensuring users who need extensive local storage can still opt for up to 8TB. The broader MacBook Pro lineup continues to push performance boundaries with the latest silicon, while offering expanded storage capacities at multiple price points.
