Apple MacBook Pro OLED (2026) Review: The Best Comes at a Cost

Apple’s 2026 OLED MacBook Pro adds a touchscreen to its flagship laptop, alongside a brighter display, a punch-hole webcam and a lighter 16-inch model. The reviewer sees it as a major upgrade, particularly for outdoor work, though the touchscreen’s usefulness is uncertain and the premium price is steep.

The tested 16-inch version weighs 4 pounds, more than half a pound less than the comparable Mini-LED model. Its tandem OLED display reaches 1,000 nits for everyday use and up to 2,000 nits in specific bright conditions; an optional nano-texture finish helps reduce glare. Apple continues to sell a less radically changed Mini-LED MacBook Pro with the M6 chip, while the OLED version costs almost $1,000 more than a similarly configured model from the previous year.
