Apple's First Touchscreen MacBook Pro Arrives With an OLED Display and Dynamic Island
The new 14-inch and 16-inch models start at $2,899 and land alongside an OLED iPad mini, an M6 iMac and a cheaper M6 MacBook Pro.
For years Apple insisted the Mac did not need a touchscreen. That changed on November 6, when the first touch-enabled MacBook Pro models reached customers and stores.
Apple announced the laptops on October 28 at its "Pro and tell" event in Los Angeles. They come in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes and use a tandem OLED panel Apple calls the PROLED XDR display. A Dynamic Island, borrowed from the iPhone, sits at the top of the screen in place of the old notch.
Specs and pricing
The touchscreen models run on the M5 Pro or M5 Max chips and start at $2,899, putting them at the very top of Apple's laptop range.
The rest of the lineup
- iPad mini with OLED: $699
- iMac with M6: from $1,499
- 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6: from $1,999
The touch models are the bigger story. They mark a shift in how Apple sees the Mac and iPad overlapping, and they are likely to shape what Apple's cheaper laptops look like over the next few years. For most buyers, though, the M6 MacBook Pro at $1,999 will be the more sensible pick.
