M5 iPad Pro: Everything we know so far
Apple's M5 iPad Pro is expected to launch this fall, and the rumors and leaks are rolling in. Cupertino's top-of-the-line tablet is expected to bring some serious upgrades to its newest model, and we've got the lowdown on all of them right here. The kinds of upgrades we're expecting are not those you'd see immediately, as the rumor mill is pointing to a near-identical design alongside that gorgeously bright and vivid tandem OLED display. Instead, these are upgrades that you should feel with dramatic spec bumps coming to the internals. From an upgraded chipset and more RAM as standard to a beefed up camera system, here's everything you need to know about the next iPad Pro. This is the big question I wanted to answer from the get-go. And the answer is 'it depends.' Yep, I know that sounds like a cop out, but let me explain — there are two schools of thought here. So it comes down to saving cash vs speeds and feeds. Do with this knowledge what you will. The 11-inch iPad Pro packs Apple's latest M4 processor paired with a stunning 11-inch Tandem OLED (2420 x 1668) display. The new M4 processor features 9 CPU cores and 10 GPU cores. In our iPad Pro 2024 review we said it could very well be the most stunning tablet ever made. Price check: $949 @ B&H | $999 @ Best Buy At 5.1mm thick, this is one of the thinnest iPads Apple has ever made. It packs Apple's new M4 processor, a 13-inch Ultra Retina XDR display, and 12MP check: $1,199 @ B&H | $1,299 @ Best Buy Like I said, the M5 iPad Pro isn't necessarily going to be about upgrades you visibly see, but you should get a major performance boost. The big new thing coming to the iPad Pro is in the name — the M5 chip. So far, there hasn't been any leaked specs for this chip, which means I've got to apply some guess work. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Now, it could very well be built on a similar 3-nanometer process as the M4 and M3 before it. But back in January 2024, it was reported that Apple was 'widely believed' to be the first client to take advantage of TSMC's new 2-nanometer process of building chips. This essentially means that the transistors on the chip will be smaller, so the company can pack more of them onto the same size chunk of silicon — leading to better performance and improved efficiency. Let's look at a similar timeline. Around mid 2021, news broke that Apple was working with TSMC (its chip provider) on these 3nm modes, which we saw the fruits of with the iPhone 15 Pro and M3 MacBook Pros in late 2023… Do you see where I'm going with this? The timelines for these run long, and where there's smoke, there's usually fire. I'm feeling increasingly confident that we're going to see the next generational leap in chip technology drop in the M5 iPad Pro. On paper, this should mean: Two other key features are rumored to be paired with this new chipset to really make this feel an all-round turboboost. First, there's 16GB RAM as standard. Currently, the M4 iPad Pro starts at 8GB, and just like we've seen with the MacBooks, rumors point to this base number doubling to support the multitasking demands of the iPadOS 26 and Apple Intelligence. The second major upgrade is Wi-Fi 7. With today's tablet supporting Wi-Fi 6E, you can theoretically get 9 gigabits per second (Gbps) speeds. Moving to Wi-Fi 7 will give you a maximum of 46 Gbps, along with compatibility with the new 6 GHz band you're seeing in a lot of the best Wi-Fi 7 routers being sold today. That means significantly faster download speeds on a clearer bandwidth that's not being choked up by the many other devices you've got running on the same 5 GHz band. It just makes sense, especially with the whole iPhone 16 lineup getting the upgrade last year. Now let's turn to the cameras. Currently, we just can't seem to make our minds up about where the front-facing snapper should be. If it's on the landscape edge, that's great with a keyboard cover or a stand, but not ideal when holding the tablet in portrait. Meanwhile, pop it on the other edge, and that's great for FaceTimes with the iPad in hand, but is a nightmare to frame yourself in landscape mode. Rumors are pointing to Apple giving you the best of both worlds — two 12MP front-facing cameras with one on the landscape and one on the portrait sides. Mix in some typical 'it just works' Apple-ness that may use the accelerometer to intelligently switch cameras, and you'll never have this framing problem again. Meanwhile, around back, we're not expecting any changes to the rear camera, so expect a 12MP shooter with LiDAR and that True Tone flash. The more things change, the more they stay the same. And beyond the rear camera, one thing seems to be inevitable based on the rumor mill. Just because these two facets are probably staying the same doesn't mean it's a bad thing. The uber slim 5.3mm-thin design and utilitarian aesthetic makes this a real stunner in the hand — making you seriously think 'how did they pack so much power in here!?' And as for that tandem OLED display, it's truly a mesmerizing experience. Labeled Ultra Retina XDR, Apple essentially stacks two OLED panels on top of each other to not just get the color and contrast ratio benefits of this tech, but also drastically boost the brightness. In the M4 iPad Pro, you can get a peak brightness of 1,000 nits for SDR content, and top it out at a whopping 1,600 for HDR. That is completely worry-free use outdoors, and it's paired with a nano-texture glass for a glare-free experience. Apple has been cooking for this one, and the M5 iPad Pro is looking destined to be a significant upgrade — not just in the product itself, but as another step forward into a new generation of chipsets for the Cupertino crew. The M5 iPad Pro is bringing the hype levels up, and it could be another move forward that will continue to put Apple ahead of not just its tablet competition, but in front of laptops, too. So all eyes are on later this year for what the company brings to the table.

I review gaming laptops for a living, and this deal slashes $500 off my Editor's Choice pick with RTX 5080 power
Amazon's big Prime Day in July sale may be over, but there are some killer gaming laptop deals available if you know where to look! I know because I was watching laptop prices like a hawk last week, and one of the best deals I've seen all month is still available. The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i w/ RTX 5080 is $2,999 at B&H, which is $500 off the usual asking price. This is a great deal on an Editor's Choice gaming laptop packing an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 laptop GPU, an Intel Core i9-275HX CPU, 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage driving a gorgeous 16-inch (2400x1600) 240Hz OLED display. This is the best price I've ever seen on this premium Lenovo gaming laptop, which I actually reviewed earlier this year. If you read my Lenovo Legion Pro 7i review you'll see why I gave it our Editor's Choice award. Lenovo's Legion Pro 7i delivers a killer one-two punch of great gaming performance and a gorgeous 1600p HDR-capable OLED display with a 240Hz refresh rate. The only major downside is the high price, but you can take the sting out of that with this post-Prime Day deal. The Legion Pro 7i is a great value at this price because the power of the RTX 5080 and Intel Core i9 CPU (not to mention the 32GB of RAM) mean you can basically use this laptop as a desktop gaming PC that folds up for easy transport. Admittedly, it's quite heavy, but so are almost all 16-inch gaming laptops. And since the battery life isn't amazing (my review unit lasted just over 90 minutes while gaming on battery, or nearly 5 hours when surfing the web), you'll want to keep the Pro 7i plugged in on a desk most of the time. But this thing looks good on a desk thanks to its sturdy, elegant chassis, and you get all the ports you need for serious gaming: USB-C, USB-A, HDMI 2.1 out and an RJ-45 Ethernet jack for high-speed hardwired online gaming. Plus, it supports Wi-Fi 7 and sports a spacious, comfy keyboard. I'm a big fan of the RTX 5080 model and it's the best deal you can get on this laptop right now, but there are other versions also on sale if you're looking to spend a little less—or more. If you want the very best model you can get, for example, the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i w/ RTX 5090 is $3,599, $400 off the usual price. This model of Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is top-of-the-line thanks to its high-end Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 GPU, an Intel Core i9-275HX CPU, 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage. That's more than enough power to make all your favorite games run beautifully on the eye-catching 16-inch 1600p 240Hz OLED display. But if that's a bit too pricey for you, you can save some money without sacrificing much in terms of power by snagging the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i w/ RTX 5070 Ti for $2,499 at B&H . This is the cheapest model of this laptop you can get right now, but it's no slouch thanks to its Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU complementing the usual Intel Core i9-275HX CPU, 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage. This is one of the lowest prices I've ever seen on this laptop and one of the best gaming laptop deals I've seen since Prime Day, but I don't know how long it will last, so act fast if you want to save big on one of the best gaming laptops around!

I review MacBooks for a living — here's the 9 best deals to get before Prime Day
I review the best laptops for a living, and the best MacBooks rank among them. While these notebooks have a reputation for being pricey, you can often find them discounted at major retailers like Amazon, B&H Photo, and Best Buy. Because of that, it's almost always a good time to buy one of Apple's laptops. Some of the best MacBook deals I've found include a 13-inch MacBook Air M4 for $849 at Amazon, which is a nice $150 discount.
