Apple's first touchscreen MacBook Pro will set you back nearly 3 bands

At Apple's "Pro and Tell" event, the company said the new OLED MacBook Pro models with touchscreens launch on November 6.

Apple unveiled its inaugural MacBook Pro with a touchscreen on Wednesday during the Pro and Tell event in Los Angeles. This marks a significant evolution from traditional MacBooks that rely on keyboards, mice, and trackpads for input. The new laptop begins at $2,899 for the 14-inch variant and $3,399 for the 16-inch version. Apple attributes the price increase to the ongoing global memory shortage that has driven up the cost of personal computers.

The touchscreen MacBook Pro features the company's PROLED XDR display and is powered by the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, similar to its recently announced M6-equipped models. Notably, the laptop incorporates a Dynamic Island cutout in the screen, reminiscent of recent iPhone designs. Preorders for the touchscreen MacBook Pros open on Wednesday, with an official launch scheduled for November 6.
