Apple is set to reintroduce touchscreens to its MacBook Pro lineup this week, with the first touchscreen MacBook Pro expected to launch in just a few days. This marks a significant departure from the brand's longstanding stance of excluding touchscreens from their laptops. The company's next-gen MacBook Pro lineup will consist of three tiers, offering varying levels of performance and features.
The entry-level option, priced at an estimated $1,999, will feature the M6 chip in a 14-inch model and come equipped with 1TB of storage and 16GB of unified memory. There's a possibility that Apple could reintroduce a 512GB base storage tier, similar to a recent decision made with the Mac mini. The high-end models will maintain their current pricing and features, while the existing models with miniLED displays will remain in production through 2028.
The standout addition to the lineup will be the new OLED touch MacBook Pros, which reportedly will be lighter than the previous models and feature Dynamic Island, OLED, touch displays, and potentially even cellular support. These new MacBook Pros are positioned as the most exciting Macs in recent years, though their premium price tag reflects the significant upgrade. As such, it's clear that Apple is preparing to command a high price for these new MacBook Pros.
