MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR looks awesome, but I’m not rushing to upgrade

Apple's latest MacBook Pro overhaul, featuring the PROLED XDR display, has been released after five years since the initial M1 Pro/M1 Max models. While the new MacBook Pro is lighter and marginally thinner, the overall design change is not significant. The top case, keyboard, trackpad, speakers, and ports have remained largely unchanged, which may disappoint some users who crave a more noticeable shift.

The M5 family was introduced last year, and M7 is expected next year, making the current models appear slightly less appealing due to their higher price point. Although Apple has hinted at future macOS optimizations for touch, the inclusion of touch on the new MacBook Pro may not be a compelling reason for everyone to upgrade. Despite not buying one immediately, the author plans to purchase a MacBook Pro in the future once it incorporates the M7 Pro and M7 Max chips.

The glowing Apple logo on the new model is an appealing aspect, but the author remains undecided on whether to purchase it now or wait for future improvements.
