Summary
Apple’s first touchscreen MacBook Pro starts at $2,899 for a 14-inch model and $3,399 for a 16-inch version, with sales beginning Nov. 6.
The new lineup adds direct touch input to macOS while pairing it with a tandem OLED “PROLED XDR” display, M5 Pro or M5 Max chips, and redesigned hinges to steady the screen during taps.
Apple says the display reaches 2,000 nits peak brightness, a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio and 120Hz refresh rates, while top configurations scale to 128GB of memory and 16TB of storage.
The premium is steep: the least expensive touchscreen model costs $900 more than Apple’s new $1,999 non-touch 14-inch M6 MacBook Pro and $400 above the previous comparable M5 Pro model.
The launch marks a reversal after years of Apple resisting touch on Macs, but the machine remains a conventional laptop without tablet folding or Apple Pencil support.
