Redesigned MacBook Pro with OLED to feature ‘significantly lighter’ design: report

Apple is set to unveil a redesigned MacBook Pro with an OLED touchscreen display and a 'significantly lighter' design in the coming months, as per the latest issue of the Power On newsletter. The forthcoming machines are expected to debut by the end of November, according to reports. This will mark Apple's first-ever touchscreen MacBook and the first to feature Tandem OLED technology.

The new MacBook Pros will be powered by the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, instead of the higher-end M6 family, as Apple decided to prioritize the swift launch of the M7 lineup. While the computer has been rumored for a while, little was known about its design until now. Revisions to the machine's internal components and reconfiguration of parts have been made to achieve a lighter form factor.

The current 16-inch MacBook Pro weighs 4.8 pounds, compared to a mere 3.3 pounds for the 15-inch MacBook Air, making any reduction in weight highly noticeable to users. Apple is reportedly working on improvements to address this concern. Gurman also hints at some updates in macOS Golden Gate, which will support the new touch features and the Dynamic Island, along with the introduction of macOS 27.2.
