Apple has officially introduced its first MacBook Pro model featuring a touchscreen. The device is equipped with a ProLED XDR display and a Dynamic Island, replacing the traditional notch design. Pricing for the new laptop starts at ¥22 999.
The integration of touch technology into the MacBook Pro marks a shift from the company's previous stance. In 2010, Steve Jobs publicly criticized the concept of touchscreen laptops, arguing that vertical touch interactions cause arm and shoulder fatigue during prolonged professional use.
Apple states that the new touch sensors are embedded directly into the display panel to minimize latency. This design aims to provide a responsive experience for tasks such as scrolling, zooming, and manipulating 3D objects or virtual instruments within iOS applications.
The new MacBook Pro will be available for pre-order starting October 30 at 9:00 AM. The official market release is scheduled for November 6.
