Apple has officially unveiled a redesigned MacBook Pro featuring its new PROLED XDR tandem OLED display and, for the first time on a Mac, built-in touchscreen capabilities and the Dynamic Island. Available in 14- and 16-inch models, the updated laptops feature thinner and lighter designs—weighing 3 and 4 pounds, respectively—alongside slimmer display borders and up to 24 hours of battery life. The new display offers up to 2,000 nits peak brightness, a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio, ProMotion refresh rates up to 120Hz, and a wider colour gamut covering both P3 and Adobe RGB.
Under the hood, the laptops are powered by Apple’s new M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, supporting up to 128GB of unified memory and up to 16TB of storage. Alongside the on-screen touch integration—which works in tandem with existing macOS shortcuts and third-party creative apps—the Dynamic Island now serves as a central hub for Spotlight, Siri AI, and Live Activities. Additional hardware upgrades include an enhanced six-speaker sound system with deeper bass, three Thunderbolt 5 ports, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and a redesigned thermal architecture.
The new MacBook Pro models run macOS 27 and are available to pre-order starting October 28, across 30 countries and regions, with general availability beginning Friday, November 6. In Canada, the 14-inch model with M5 Pro starts at CA$3,999, while the 16-inch version starts at CA$4,799.
