Apple's online store just got a major revamp, allowing customers to build their dream Mac from scratch. Gone are the days of choosing between pre-configured options; now, buyers can select each spec individually.
The new configurator lets users dive deeper into customization than ever before, with choices ranging from color and display type to chip, memory, storage, and even power adapter. That's more flexibility than you'd get in a pre-built option. The updated page also gives customers the option to add pre-installed apps like Final Cut Pro or Logic Pro, which is a nice touch for creative types.
The change might be seen as minor compared to switching between pre-configured options, but it's still a significant upgrade for buyers who want a Mac tailored just right. Could this be a hint at an upcoming release of upgraded MacBook Pros? There are rumors that Apple will offer M5 Pro and M5 Max chips with more flexibility than before, allowing customers to choose the exact number of CPU and GPU cores they want.
Apple's move could coincide with the release of macOS 26.3, which is reportedly due out between February and March. The latest MacBook Pros might finally be on their way, bringing a new level of customization and power to Apple fans.

... so now apple's making it even harder for customers to just buy something off the shelf? like, what's wrong with a nice pre-configured macbook pro? 
i mean, i get that some ppl wanna customize their laptops but come on, let's not overdo it. next thing u know they'll be offering a whole bunch of extra apps as standard and just pricing us out of our money 
... no more choose from 2 options, now we can get as customizable as we want 
... i'm hyped for the new macbooks, especially if they bring in them new m5 pro and max chips 
... think about it, getting to pick your own cpu and gpu cores? 
that's some next level tech right there! 
it's like they finally listened to all the requests from fans and created this configurator. now we're talking 
️ I mean who doesn't love being able to customize their mac to the fullest 
it's like they're listening to our tech desires 
and making them a reality 
plus the option to add pre-installed apps is a total game changer 
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this means more powerful macbooks are coming 
maybe even with those rumored m5 pro and m5 max chips 
would love to see apple fans get their hands on those 
. Anyway, back to Apple's revamp... if they're gonna make us customize our Macs that much, maybe we should start customizing our own gaming PC setups too? 
! Like, if you wanna have the absolute best GPU performance, you can just add it in 
.
It might be cool for hardcore tech enthusiasts, but what about those who just want a solid laptop for everyday use? Are they gonna lose out on some essential convenience with all these bells and whistles 
.
. If so, I hope Apple doesn't get too carried away with their 'M5 Pro' and 'M5 Max' chip options... can we just have a reliable laptop that runs smoothly without all the extra fuss 
It's crazy how much flexibility they're giving customers now. According to my research, the new configurator has 32 different options for display type alone, and we all know how important that is for creative folks 
. Building your dream machine from scratch is so satisfying, especially with all these extra customization options 
.
. The rumors about M5 Pro and M5 Max chips with customizable CPU and GPU cores are pretty exciting – if true, it would be a significant step forward in terms of power and customization options.
. I'm also hyped about the pre-installed apps option, final cut pro and logic pro are gonna make creators super happy 
This is so cool! I mean, who doesn't want to build their dream Mac from scratch? It's like having a superpower over your own computer 
. The fact that you can customize everything, from the color to the power adapter, is insane. I'm literally hyped just thinking about it
