MacBook Pro With OLED Display Rumored to Be 'Significantly Lighter'

Mark Gurman, writing in Bloomberg's Power On newsletter, revealed that upcoming MacBook Pro models featuring OLED displays will be notably lighter than the current lineup. Apple has redesigned the machine's internal components, reducing weight through miniaturization and reconfiguration. The MacBook Pro typically weighs up to 4.7 pounds, the MacBook Air up to 3.3 pounds, and the MacBook Neo up to 2.7 pounds.

These new models are rumored to incorporate six innovative features: an OLED display, touch-screen capabilities, the Dynamic Island instead of a notch, M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, a thinner design, and a significantly lighter design. Apple intends to launch these OLED-equipped MacBook Pro models in October or November of the current year.

The company is reportedly testing these laptops with macOS 27.2, currently in beta. The OLED models are anticipated to be premium, higher-priced offerings surpassing the existing MacBook Pro models in Apple's product range.
