Apple Mac Mini M5 (2026) - Every Leak, AI Benchmark & Who Should Wait | Tech Sober

The Mac Mini M5 is dropping at WWDC 2026, but is it worth waiting for, or should you grab the M4 right now? In this video I break down EVERY Mac Mini M5 and M5 Pro leak - the new chip specs, the 512GB base storage, the rumored $699 starting price, and the WWDC release date. Then I do what no other video is doing: I show you the REAL local AI performance numbers. How fast can the M5 actually run Llama 3 70B, Mistral 14B, and Qwen 3.5? How does it compare to the M4 Pro? And how does Apple's unified memory stack up against an Nvidia RTX 4070 or even an RTX 5090? Plus - if you're a video editor wondering whether the M5 Pro is overkill for 4K timelines in DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro, I've got the honest answer.
