On Friday, November 6, Apple launches the new MacBook Pro with a PROLED XDR display featuring tandem OLED technology and touchscreen capabilities, alongside M5 Pro and M5 Max chips.
Apple engineered the PROLED XDR display using tandem OLED technology with two light-emitting layers, achieving 2,000 nits of peak HDR brightness compared to the previous model's 1,600 nits. The 16-inch model is 0.7 pounds lighter.
Starting at $2,899, the 14-inch MacBook Pro runs on Apple's M5 Pro silicon with an 18-core CPU and supports three external displays via three Thunderbolt 5 ports. Video editors and 3D artists can use Blender and Final Cut Pro directly on the touchscreen.
Designed for creative professionals, the machine serves as a reference-quality display tool for video editors and photographers. Apple emphasizes the device remains primarily keyboard and trackpad-based, with touchscreen as an auxiliary input.
The iconic glowing Apple logo returns to the laptop lid after an 11-year absence. Apple plans to release the HomeView smart home device and Apple TV 4K streaming box next week, expanding its product ecosystem.
