About this video

A few weeks ago I was able to test the new M5 MacBook Pro for a few weeks. I've been using the M1 MacBook Pro for over 3 years at this point as my main work laptop. In this video I compare both in everything from screen size, ports, performance, and battery life, and give you my real-life thoughts as a full-time Cloud Software Consultant!
