Apple has announced a redesigned MacBook Pro featuring an OLED touchscreen, marking a significant departure from previous models. The 14-inch model starts at $2,899, while the 16-inch version begins at $3,399, positioning it as the highest launch price ever for a MacBook Pro. Powered by M5 Pro or M5 Max chips, the laptop features a Dynamic Island around its webcam and a rear Apple logo that lights up.
Notably, the 14-inch model weighs just three pounds, a noticeable reduction from the current 3.4-pound model. The device boasts a Pro LED XDR screen with 2,000 nits peak brightness and a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio. Connectivity options include three Thunderbolt 5 USB-C ports, MagSafe, HDMI, a headphone jack, and an SDXC card slot.
While the touchscreen enables easier scrolling and interaction with iOS apps and creative software like Notion and Blender, the device's premium pricing, with fully configured 16-inch models reaching $14,549, suggests it targets professional users rather than regular consumers.
