Apple Announces Its First Touchscreen MacBook
The MacBook Pro has had pretty much the same design since 2021, but today at its 'Pro and Tell' event in Cupertino, Apple has announced an all-new MacBook Pro with a touchscreen.
Apple has unveiled its first touchscreen MacBook Pro at its Pro and Tell event in Cupertino. The innovative MacBook Pro features a PROLED XDR Display, available in either a 14- or 16-inch configuration, paired with either the M5 Pro or M5 Max chip. The display boasts up to 2,000 nits of brightness and covers both the P3 and Adobe RGB spectrums.
While touchscreen laptops have existed before, Apple's entry into this market comes after its previous stance against touch displays, including Steve Jobs' assertion that touchscreens on laptops "don't work" in 2010. The new MacBook Pro with a touchscreen starts at $2,899, providing users with either the M5 Pro or M5 Max chip, 24GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.
The more powerful 16-inch model, starting at $3,399, features the M5 Pro configuration, 24GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. For those willing to invest more, the 16-inch model can be customized with an M5 Max chip, 128GB of RAM, a 16TB SSD, and an 18-core CPU and 40-core GPU for $14,399. Preorders for the new MacBook Pro with a touchscreen display are now available, with shipments scheduled for November 6.
