The first reviews of the new MacBook Pro PROLED with touch display are out. Critics rave about the screen, wince at the price, and mostly shrug about touch. Apple calls these the best MacBooks it has ever made, and reviewers largely agree—though the touchscreen itself gets barely passing attention.
The 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR models have drawn comparisons to Steve Jobs, who famously disliked touch screens. iJustine says he had a point, while John Ternus insists this is the right time to add touch. Mashable calls it "the first slam dunk of the Ternus era" and praises the "incredible tandem OLED display," concluding the laptop "absolutely slaps."
Tom's Guide says touch is merely the flashy headline, while the screen is what matters, calling it the best laptop display its reviewer has ever tested. PC Magazine offers mild criticism about loud cooling fans and smudges but awards 4.5 stars and an Editor's Choice, calling it the "new bar for laptop touch screens." Trusted Reviews echoes the enthusiasm, saying the display—not touch—is what it is most ecstatic about.
