Touchscreen MacBook Pro review: Apple's boldest laptop move

HardwareNew1 min read

In brief

The Verge tested the new MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR display for about a week. According to the review, the touchscreen is the standout feature, alongside a slimmer design, an improved display and a Dynamic Island replacing the notch. The touchscreen marks a shift from Apple's long-held stance under Steve Jobs that touch laptops were a bad idea.

What happened

The Verge spent about a week testing Apple's new MacBook Pro. The review's headline points to the device's most talked-about feature: the touchscreen.

Highlights

According to the review, the touchscreen is not the only notable change:

  • A slimmer body design
  • An improved display branded PROLED XDR
  • A Dynamic Island instead of a notch

The reviewer says he keeps forgetting the screen is touch-enabled during the day. That suggests Apple chose to introduce touch quietly rather than making it the centerpiece.

A contrast with Jobs

Steve Jobs once said touchscreen laptops were a bad idea. Even so, a subset of users kept asking for a touchscreen Mac. The new MacBook Pro is seen as the first direct answer to that demand.

What remains unclear

The full review is published at The Verge; pricing, release date and technical details fall outside this summary. Readers can consult the original review for a detailed assessment.

Why it matters

Apple embracing touchscreen laptops after years of resistance marks a turning point for the MacBook line and for rival Windows laptops. The review shows how much this shift is actually felt in daily use.
