According to Cailianshe, Apple is planning to launch a groundbreaking touchscreen MacBook Pro, marking the first time a Mac lineup has introduced touchscreen technology. The new laptop will feature an advanced OLED (organic light-emitting diode) screen while retaining a full trackpad and keyboard design, offering users the choice of both touch and traditional operation. This innovative design is expected to redefine the way professional users work, making the MacBook Pro even more competitive in the creative design and business productivity fields.
In terms of hardware, the touchscreen MacBook Pro will be equipped with a new-generation M6 series chip, promising impressive performance. Apple will also redesign the chassis to make it thinner and lighter than the current model. Notably, due to the use of higher-end components like the more expensive OLED screen, the new model is expected to cost hundreds of dollars more than the current model. This pricing strategy suggests that Apple will position the touchscreen MacBook Pro as a high-end product line for professional users.
According to Apple's plan, this landmark product is expected to be officially released in late 2026 or early 2027. The timing suggests that Apple is fully preparing the technology and warming up the market for this product. Industry insiders analyzed that the launch of the touch-screen MacBook Pro will further improve Apple's ecosystem, blurring the product boundaries between Mac and iPad Pro, and may also trigger a new round of technological innovation in the notebook computer industry.
