Apple has launched a touchscreen MacBook Pro starting at $2,899, marking a major shift after nearly 10 years of resisting touch input on Macs. The device features M5 Pro/Max chips, up to 128GB unified memory, a PROLED XDR display with 2,000 nits brightness, and a stabilized hinge design for touch interaction.
Background
Apple has historically avoided touchscreens on MacBooks, last attempting with the Touch Bar (2016-2020) which was eventually removed due to low adoption. This launch represents a significant pivot in Apple's computer strategy.
