Apple Tests 14-Inch Touchscreen MacBook Pro With OLED, Adding Dynamic Island

Summary
A brief hands-on with Apple’s new MacBook Pro found the OLED display stood out most, while the laptop also felt noticeably lighter than an M1 Max-era 14-inch model.
The new design adds Dynamic Island to a MacBook for the first time, though its cutout appears less intrusive on a larger laptop screen than on an iPhone.
Fullscreen behavior remains an open question: the tester could not check gaming performance or whether apps will still avoid the cutout as notch-equipped MacBooks do.
Apple also revived the glowing rear logo, but the bigger shift is the touchscreen itself after years of internal and public debate over whether a Mac laptop should support touch.
