MacBook Pro With PROLED XDR Display: Details You Might Have Missed
Key Points:
- The new MacBook Pro models with PROLED XDR displays, powered by M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, show virtually identical performance to the mini-LED models, with Geekbench 7 multi-core CPU scores nearly the same.
- The laptops feature design changes including recessed feet on the bottom cover secured by four pentalobe screws instead of eight, and larger speakers that deliver 50% deeper bass.
- The keyboard remains part of an all-in-one "Top Case with Battery and Keyboard" assembly, meaning it cannot be replaced individually as in some previous models.
- The PROLED XDR models have rounded bottom display corners for a more uniform look, and the illuminated Apple logo now uses a custom white LED light source instead of relying on the display backlight.
- Apple reintroduced the illuminated logo on the MacBook Pro lids simply because they believe "it's awesome," according to an Apple representative.
