Apple just announced its first touchscreen Macbook at its “Pro and tell” event on Wednesday. It showed off the long-awaited MacBook in a video during the event that you can watch right here to see the new display in action.
Apple CEO John Ternus also shared a teaser for the new MacBook in a video on X, showing the Apple logo on the laptop’s lid lighting up. The new MacBook Pro will be available on November 6th and starts at $2,899 for the 14-inch model or $3,399 for the 16-inch. Its touch display is a ProLED XDR tandem OLED panel with up to 2000 nits of brightness and a 120Hz refresh rate.
The touchscreen MacBook has been a long time coming, even by Apple’s “fashionably late” standards — touchscreens have been mainstream on Windows laptops for well over a decade now. It was rumored for years before finally becoming a reality, much like the new iPhone Duo. Both devices are among the first Apple launched under its new CEO, John Ternus, who formerly led hardware engineering at Apple.
Earlier this week, Apple also announced a new entry-level MacBook Pro, M6 iMac, and an OLED iPad Mini.
