Apple’s redesigned MacBook Pro adds OLED touchscreens and costs £400 more
Apple has redesigned the MacBook Pro for the first time in five years, making it lighter and thinner and adding an OLED touchscreen, the first on a Mac. The review praises its display and performance, while noting that the new models cost substantially more than the standard MacBook Pro.
The 14-inch model weighs 1.38kg, 14% less than its predecessor, and the 16-inch weighs 1.82kg, 15% less. The OLED screens reach a peak brightness of 2,000 nits and support refresh rates of 10 to 120Hz; the touchscreen handles taps and gestures but the Mac is not designed to be touch-first. The models use the same M5 Pro or Max chips as standard versions, with similar performance and battery life, and start at £2,899, a £400 premium.
In short
- Apple’s redesigned MacBook Pro adds its first touchscreen.
- OLED models are up to 15% lighter.
- Prices start at £2,899, £400 above comparable LCD models.
