Apple shows pricey touchscreen laptops, a first for the iPhone maker
Apple’s redesigned laptop adds OLED touch input, M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, and starts at $2,899.
- On Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Apple CEO John Ternus unveiled the MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display, the company's first touchscreen laptop powered by M5 Pro and M5 Max chips.
- Apple previously resisted adding touchscreens to laptops, with Steve Jobs calling them "ergonomically terrible" in 2010; the shift marks a pragmatic acknowledgment of modern user expectations for touch-capable devices.
- The PROLED XDR display uses tandem OLED technology to deliver 2,000 nits of peak brightness and a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio, while the Dynamic Island integrates for managing notifications and tasks.
- Preorders opened October 28, with retail availability beginning November 6, 2026; base models start at $2,899 for the 14-inch version and $3,399 for the 16-inch configuration.
- The redesigned chassis weighs 3 pounds on the 14-inch model, half a pound lighter than predecessors, and brings back the iconic glowing Apple logo, positioning these premium devices for professional creators.
