Skipping the black finish on the MacBook Pro PROLED is a must after dealing with grime and oil buildup for a whole year. Silver is the only way to go if you want hardware that stays looking gorgeous while doubling as a local AI machine. The M5 Max version handles multiple models simultaneously, pushing smaller ones to around 70 words per second. That screen really elevates the workflow when running Codex or Claude, making everything feel lightning fast. Touchscreen usage hasn't happened once in my time with it, and there are no plans to start using that feature either.
