## Key points

- Apple’s first touchscreen MacBook Pro marks a shift in its laptop approach.
- OLED models weigh 3 pounds for 14-inch and 4 pounds for 16-inch.
- Apple has adjusted macOS for touch, but ergonomics remain a question.

## Summary

The update describes Apple’s first touchscreen MacBook Pro, a change from the company’s long-standing refusal to put touchscreens on its laptops. Apple has also made macOS more touch-friendly, though the article notes that reaching up to touch a laptop screen may remain awkward.

The OLED models come in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes and weigh 3 and 4 pounds respectively. For comparison, the non-touch models cited weigh 3.4 and 4.7 pounds; the touchscreen versions are also slightly thinner and smaller, while keeping the familiar materials.
