- Its tandem OLED screen offers up to 2,000 nits of brightness.
- It remains a laptop, without tablet folding or Apple Pencil support.

## Summary

Apple unveiled its first touchscreen MacBook Pro on 28 October, adding direct screen controls to a laptop range that has long relied on a keyboard and trackpad. Starting at $2,899, it marks a significant change in how people can use a Mac, though the high price raises questions about whether touch is worth the upgrade.

The laptop has a tandem OLED display, which Apple says can reach 2,000 nits of peak brightness, a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio and refresh rates up to 120Hz. It also has an antireflective coating, an optional nano-texture finish and a redesigned hinge to steady the screen when tapped. It remains a conventional laptop: it does not fold into a tablet or support Apple Pencil.
