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.
