They just announced it live, seconds ago. Starats at $2599, not sure the config, presumably 32GB. So not the worst.

Just found out how to get the $2599: it's not easy, only available in silver, 24GB RAM and 512 SSD

Oooff did not see it coming. I doubt it will sell well, considering that chip isn’t exactly the top performer

For 2.5k a 512Gb SSD seems extremely disappointing, I'd expect 1Tb on something half that price.

AFAIK, currently MBP with M5 Pro starts with 24GB and 1TB SSD at $2499.

Wonder if this seals the fate that M6 Pros will be at absolute minimum $100 more expensive?

Starts at 24 GB so not great either
