Summary
$2,899 buys Apple’s first touchscreen MacBook Pro, a redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch lineup that adds OLED displays and arrives slimmer and lighter after five years without a major overhaul.
14% to 15% weight cuts are among the biggest hardware changes: the 14-inch model drops to 1.38kg and the 16-inch to 1.82kg, while the new tandem OLED panel reaches 2,000 nits peak brightness.
M5 Pro and M5 Max chips remain unchanged from the standard MacBook Pro, so the premium is mainly for the display and chassis; Apple prices the OLED versions about £400 above comparable LCD models.
Battery life stays broadly similar despite the redesign, with roughly two days of office use and enough endurance for heavier creative workloads, keeping the new machines aimed at high-end professional buyers.
