Why it matters

This is the first time Apple adds a touchscreen to the MacBook Pro, with an OLED display that peaks at 2000 .

For most people

Watch: Apple avoided touchscreens on laptops for years, so this is a big change.

The 14-inch model costs $2,899 in the US and the 16-inch model costs $3,399.
The display is a tandem OLED, and Apple says the touch sensor is built into the panel to cut latency.
Peak brightness reaches 2000 nits, with a up to 120Hz and a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio.
The chip is an M5 Pro or M5 Max, not the M6 of the cheaper 14-inch MacBook Pro. Battery life is up to 24 hours.
Pre-orders are open today and it arrives November 6. Ports: three Thunderbolt 5, HDMI, an SD reader and MagSafe 3.
