FAQs

Does this MacBook Pro come with a power adapter?

No, this MacBook Pro comes with a USB-C to MagSafe 3 charging cable but does not include a power adapter. You will need to purchase a compatible USB-C power adapter separately. A 96W adapter is recommended for optimal charging.

What is Apple Intelligence?

Apple Intelligence is a system of AI models integrated into macOS Tahoe, designed to enhance personal productivity and creativity. Features include AI-powered writing assistance, image generation, enhanced search capabilities via Spotlight, and seamless integration with iPhone features.

How long does the battery last?

The 14-inch MacBook Pro offers up to 24 hours of continuous video playback. Actual battery life varies by use and configuration. For more detailed information, refer to apple.com/uk/batteries.

What is the display technology used?

This MacBook Pro features a Liquid Retina XDR display, which uses Mini LED technology. It offers up to 1600 nits peak HDR brightness, 1000 nits sustained brightness for SDR content, and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio for exceptional visual clarity and dynamic range.

Can I connect multiple external displays?

The MacBook Pro with M5 chip supports up to two external displays with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz over Thunderbolt. Please check Apple's technical specifications for the exact number of external displays supported based on the specific M5 configuration.

What ports are available on this MacBook Pro?

It includes three Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) ports, an HDMI port, an SDXC card slot, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. The Thunderbolt 4 ports support charging, DisplayPort, and Thunderbolt 4 (up to 40Gb/s).

What is the difference between unified memory and traditional RAM?

Unified memory is a high-bandwidth, low-latency memory pool shared by the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine. This allows for greater efficiency and performance as data doesn't need to be copied between separate memory pools, making tasks like AI processing and graphics rendering faster.

How do I update to macOS Tahoe?

macOS Tahoe will be available as a free software update. You can typically update via System Settings > General > Software Update, or by downloading it from the Mac App Store when it becomes available.

Troubleshooting

MacBook Pro will not power on.

Ensure the MagSafe 3 cable is securely connected to both the MacBook Pro and a working power adapter. Try a different power outlet and a compatible power adapter. If the issue persists, contact Apple Support.

Slow performance or unresponsiveness.

Close unnecessary applications, especially those running in the background. Check Activity Monitor for resource-intensive processes. Ensure macOS and all applications are up to date. Restart your MacBook Pro.

Wi-Fi connection is unstable or slow.

Restart your MacBook Pro and your Wi-Fi router. Forget the Wi-Fi network in System Settings and reconnect. Check if other devices on the same network experience similar issues. Update your macOS.

External display is not recognized.

Ensure the display cable is securely connected to both the MacBook Pro and the display. Verify that the display is powered on and set to the correct input source. Try a different Thunderbolt 4 port on the MacBook Pro or a different cable.

Touch ID is not working.

Ensure your finger is clean and dry. Remove any screen protectors or cases that might interfere with the Touch ID sensor. Try re-registering your fingerprint in System Settings > Touch ID & Password.
