I just bought a M5 Macbook Pro 2 weeks ago. Thinking of returning it and getting a M5 Pro with the same configuration but only $200 more. How should I compare M5 vs M5 Pro?

You'll get slightly more performance and ever so slightly less battery life. I'd do it

I don’t see how 30% more CPU, 50% more GPU and 2x the memory bandwidth is slightly more performance.

Thanks for the advice! Gonna do it.
