Apple's entry 14-inch Pro laptop pairs the M5 chip with a compact but capable port set for creative work on the go. It carries three Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) ports rated at 40 Gb/s, a full HDMI 2.1 port that drives up to 8K at 60Hz, an SDXC slot, and a 3.5mm headphone jack tuned for high-impedance cans. Charging is handled by the magnetic MagSafe 3 connector, so all three USB-C ports stay free for displays and peripherals. For docks and external SSDs, any Thunderbolt or USB-C cable works in these ports.

Notes & Compatibility
Charges over MagSafe 3 (magnetic proprietary connector, not modeled as a cross-shop cable port). Base M5 uses Thunderbolt 4 (40 Gb/s), not Thunderbolt 5. HDMI 2.1 supports 8K@60Hz / 4K@240Hz. USB-C ports also support charging.
