A trivial feature which people would barely use it for.
MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR
Almost every demo I’ve seen has some amount of mis-touches and slight fumbles because at the end of the day this is still a computer designed to be used with a keyboard and a trackpad/mouse, but… there’s no denying it’s responsive and smooth as hell
Pro tip: the nanotexture version is way softer/smoother to the touch than the glossy, which drags a bit under your finger. Both do a surprisingly good job hiding fingerprints
You know what the most underrated difference to me is? The lighter weight. I swear. The 16-inch weighs almost a pound less than the non-touch version. Very into that

Actually, having touch unlock things like pinching photos or tapping the Dynamic Island changes workflows more than you'd think: xitter.twitterapi.xyz/AGTPinsights/status/21…
Apple just made the touchscreen MacBook Pro official, glowing logo included. Here's what you need to know.
The rumors were right. Apple announced the overhauled MacBook Pro at its "Pro and Tell" event in LA on October 28, 2026. It's the first Mac with a full multi-touch display. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman noted Apple resisted a touch screen for two decades, and it's now a must-have in the PC industry.
John Ternus's 5-second teaser was the hint. It has now passed 2.5M views, with 37K likes and 3.4K reposts. It pointed to the glowing Apple logo on the lid, which is back on the MacBook Pro. After the reveal, Ternus posted a new clip, "We're glowing with excitement over the new MacBook Pro. You've gotta touch it to believe it." Apple's store went down for a while during the event.
The pricing leak held up too. Gurman confirmed the numbers, and the old non-touch MacBook Pros stay on sale at their prior prices.
Key numbers:
- 14-inch: $2,899
- 16-inch: $3,399
- Chips: M5 Pro and M5 Max
- Display: tandem OLED with touch
- Old models stay at prior prices, which were $2,499 and $2,999
The 14-inch is now the priciest starting price on a new MacBook Pro.
