Apple has introduced its first touchscreen MacBook Pro, adding a tandem OLED display while retaining the laptop’s keyboard, trackpad and existing port selection.
The new “MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display” is available in 14-inch and 16-inch versions powered by Apple’s M5 Pro or M5 Max chips. According to TechCrunch, configurations offer up to 128GB of unified memory and 16TB of storage. The display reaches up to 2,000 nits of peak HDR and SDR brightness and has a claimed 10,000,000-to-1 contrast ratio.
Touch controls support gestures including scrolling, pinching, rotating and drawing. The Verge reported that macOS retains its familiar interface, automatically translating touches into clicks, while some controls expand when touched. Apple applications and third-party software including Canva, Zoom, Microsoft Office, Lightroom and DaVinci Resolve will support touch features. A Dynamic Island-style cutout replaces the notch and provides controls for functions such as AirDrop and music playback.
Apple also redesigned the hinge to reduce screen movement when touched. The 14-inch model weighs 3 pounds, while the 16-inch version weighs 4 pounds. Both include three Thunderbolt 5 ports, HDMI, an SDXC card slot, MagSafe and a headphone jack.
The 14-inch touchscreen model starts at $2,899 and the 16-inch model at $3,399. Preorders open October 30, with availability beginning November 6.
