Apple MacBook Pro Hands-On: First OLED Screen, Touch And A ...
Apple’s new MacBook Pro adds a tandem OLED touch screen and brings back the illuminated logo, while review testing found stronger battery life and higher prices.
- Apple released 16-inch and 14-inch MacBook Pro models featuring tandem PROLED XDR displays, introducing touch control support to the MacBook line for the first time.
- Previously avoiding tandem OLED for larger displays due to manufacturing consistency challenges, Apple optimized internal components to reduce the 16-inch model's weight to 4 pounds.
- The PROLED XDR display features a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio; the base 14-inch model starts at $2,899, with nano-texture glass upgrade adding $150 to mitigate smudges.
- A decade after removal, the illuminated Apple logo returns without backlight technology, though reviewers remain skeptical of touch utility, citing Steve Jobs' observation it is 'a great demo'.
- Performance remains identical to earlier M5 Max models, yet the reviewer concluded the MacBook Pro has 'the best display you can buy' due to exceptional color coverage.
