Im planning on getting the new M5 MBP i expect to be released next week. Is it possible to downgrade? I assume it comes with Tahoe :(
Typically no, Mac's don't expect to run versions of macOS before the one they were released with.
Why not buy a used M4 Pro/Max?
Almost certainly not :|
It’s not worth it, especially since the M6 MBP is rumored to already come out later this year (though likely with a price hike): https://9to5mac.com/2026/02/26/two-unique-new-macbook-pros-a...
