The new laptops come in 14-inch and 16-inch configurations, equipped with the latest M5 Pro or M5 Max silicon. Apple has engineered a specialized hinge to counter the screen wobble typically associated with laptop touch interfaces, while integrating a Dynamic Island-style cutout to replace the traditional notch. The internal specs remain formidable, supporting up to 128GB of unified memory and 16TB of storage, alongside a PROLED XDR display hitting 2,000 nits of peak brightness.

Apple Breaks Decade-Long Taboo With Touchscreen MacBook Pro
After years of public dismissal from leadership, Apple has officially introduced a MacBook Pro featuring a fully integrated touchscreen. Starting at $2,899, the device represents a sharp pivot for the company, abandoning the ill-fated Touch Bar experiment for a functional, high-performance display designed to stabilize under physical input.
This release marks a significant milestone for new CEO John Turnus, following his earlier introduction of the iPhone Duo. The move effectively ends a long-standing corporate stance against touch-capable Macs, once derided by Steve Jobs as ergonomically impractical. Pre-orders open October 30, with retail availability beginning November 6. The 14-inch model begins at $2,899, while the 16-inch variant starts at $3,399, positioning these machines as premium alternatives to the standard M6-chip MacBook Pro unveiled just yesterday.
