Buying decision

Should you buy it?

Buy the Mac mini M5 Pro if you edit video or run heavy GPU work and want a small desktop: Apple lists the 15-core CPU, 16-core GPU, 24GB, 512GB model at $1,699, and Amazon and B&H have it $30 off (Oct 7, 2026). AppleInsider (4/5) measured 3,691 single-core in Geekbench 7 and 121,303 in Metal, and you get 307GB/s of memory bandwidth, three Thunderbolt 5 ports, support for three displays and 2.5Gb Ethernet. Skip it for everyday work, because the $899 M6 Mac mini scores higher single-core and has the newer dual Neural Engine. The base 512GB SSD is also slower (about 6,600 MB/s against 10,800 MB/s on 1TB), and memory is expensive, at $600 more for 48GB.
