The MacBook Pro PROLED XDR 14-inch is my favorite MacBook, ever — here's why
Apple's MacBook Pro PROLED XDR Display touchscreen laptop is so light and so stunning that you might start looking at your MacBook Air a little differently.
Upon unboxing the all-new touchscreen MacBook Pro, I realized the magnitude of Apple's innovation. The laptop, weighing just 3 pounds, is thinner and smaller than both the M5 and M6 models. Having previously preferred a lightweight Microsoft Surface Pro, I appreciated the MacBook Pro's reduced weight. The touchscreen display is notably thin and offers superior color representation compared to the M6's mini-LED-based Liquid Retina display.
The laptop's compact size belies its powerful hardware, with the base starting at $2,899, featuring a 15-core M5 Pro processor, 16-core GPU, 24GB RAM, and 1TB storage. Despite its Pro-grade capabilities, the MacBook Pro's touchscreen may find more utility in specialized applications like ZBrush and Cinema 4D, though for most tasks, the traditional trackpad and mouse remain preferable.
