I compared every MacBook Pro Apple sells right now: the M6, the regular M5 Pro and M5 Max, and the new PROLED with OLED and touch.
My quick answer: most people should get the M6. Go M5 Pro for more RAM or Thunderbolt 5, and PROLED if you’ll use that display every day. Thanks to B&H for the M5 Pro Mac mini loan.
