The Apple MacBook Pro PROLED XDR is the latest and greatest mobile workstation from Apple with an intuitive touchscreen display in 14- and 16-inch options.
Have you been dreaming of producing music with a multi-touch touchscreen laptop? The moment is finally here. Apple has launched its new flagship MacBook Pro with a multi-touch display.

The PROLED XDR Display takes a bold step away from the backlit LCD technology used in the previous generation of Apple’s Liquid Retina XDR displays and into the realm of tandem OLED panels with stacked self-illuminating layers. Now this may sound fancy, but the specs speak for themselves with a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio and a peak HDR brightness rating of up to 2,000 nits.
As you’d expect, to accommodate the multi-touch interface functionality, these machines are running an optimized update of macOS Golden Gate. The first thing you notice is that the OS is input-aware, so the interface will shift from a traditional look and feel when you’re using your trackpad to a touch-friendly interface with dynamic buttons and menus that adapt to fingertip navigation.
While reaching the full potential of this intelligent multi-touch interface is likely to be a work in progress, there is an algorithm that instantly translates various finger movements into conventional click commands. Details like browser tabs that move to meet your touch and circular pop-up menus make your experience smoother and more intuitive.
In the larger, 16-inch configuration, the specs go up to an 18-core M5 Pro Max chip with a 40-core GPU and up to 128 GB of unified memory. In other news, Logic Pro has also been updated to accommodate the new touch interface with features like the multi-touch polyphonic keyboard, velocity-sensitive drum pads, touch-friendly chord triggers, and the ability to control multiple faders, knobs, and parameters simultaneously.
Pricing and Availability:
The Apple MacBook Pro PROLED XDR Display is currently available for pre-order starting at $2,899 for the 14-inch and $3,399 for the 16-inch base configurations, shipping this November.
