The M5 Pro refresh of the 14-inch MacBook Pro steps up to Thunderbolt 5, tripling peak bandwidth to 120 Gb/s for fast external SSDs and multi-monitor docks. It keeps the familiar layout: three Thunderbolt 5 (USB-C) ports, a full HDMI 2.1 port good for 8K output, an SDXC card slot, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. MagSafe 3 supplies fast charging separately, leaving every USB-C port available. The M5 Pro can drive up to three external displays alongside the built-in screen.
