Apple’s latest lineup is here, and Singapore tech lovers, it’s a big one. The new 14-inch MacBook Pro and iPad Pro have officially arrived—both running on Apple’s all-new M5 chip, marking a massive leap in performance and AI capability. We’re talking faster graphics, speedier multitasking, and even smarter on-device AI, all wrapped in those sleek, minimalist designs we can’t get enough of.
The MacBook Pro gets a serious glow-up this year. With the M5 chip under the hood, it’s up to 3.5x faster for AI tasks and delivers a jaw-dropping 24 hours of battery life (perfect for anyone who likes to code, create, or binge Netflix on a single charge). Its Liquid Retina XDR display with a nano-texture option looks stunning (especially if you’re editing photos or scrolling TikTok in HDR), and the macOS Tahoe update brings a cleaner design and more intuitive multitasking. It even supports Live Translation in Messages and FaceTime (ideal for business calls or holiday planning with your overseas besties).

Meanwhile, the new iPad Pro is flexing some serious power of its own. Also powered by the M5 chip, it boasts up to 3.5x faster AI performance than last year’s model, a dazzling Ultra Retina XDR display, and next-gen Wi-Fi 7 connectivity for lightning-fast streaming and downloads. It’s a creative dream—from AI-assisted video editing in DaVinci Resolve to digital painting in Procreate—and with iPadOS 26, multitasking and app-switching feel smoother than ever. Add in the new Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro, and you’ve basically got a full creative studio in your tote bag.
Both devices land in Singapore on October 22 with the MacBook Pro starting at $2,199, while the iPad Pro kicks off at $1,499. Whether you’re a student, designer, or someone who just wants their tech to keep up with their caffeine levels, the M5 generation is Apple’s smartest (and sleekest) yet.
