Apple's compact pro tablet runs the M5 chip and connects through a single USB-C port that carries full Thunderbolt / USB 4 at up to 40 Gbps. That one port drives an external display at up to 6K@60Hz, moves data to fast SSDs, and handles charging, so a single quality Thunderbolt cable covers video, storage, and power. The Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro attach magnetically via the Smart Connector and rear charging pad rather than any cable. There is no headphone jack, so wired audio needs a USB-C adapter.
Apple’s 11-inch M5 tablet with a single Thunderbolt / USB 4 port (40 Gbps), 6K external display output, and USB-C charging.
