MacBook Pro (PROLED XDR Display)

MacBook Pro (PROLED XDR Display) is Apple's first-ever touchscreen Mac. It features a 120Hz ProMotion Tandem OLED display, making it one of the best displays ever on an Apple device. Apple says that this is "the world’s best laptop display", and has published a Technical Paper on the display technology, discussing the reference modes, colour calibration and accuracy.

This is the first built-in MacBook display to support medical imaging reference modes. These first appeared in the external Studio Display XDR which launched in March 2026.

Dynamic Island & Bezels

This MacBook model is the first-ever to feature Apple's iconic Dynamic Island, which has become a staple of most iPhone models since it launched in 2022 with the iPhone 14 Pro.

It sits where the notch used to be in the top centre of the display, and houses the MacBooks Centre Stage front camera. The Dynamic Island is much smaller on the MacBook Pro than on the iPhone. This is the first time the Dynamic Island has appeared on a device other than the iPhone.

Siri and Spotlight Search have been integrated into the Dynamic Island, which will also show Live Activities such as AirDrop status, timers, focus modes and incoming calls.

In addition to the removal of the notch, the display bezels have got noticeably thinner. This has slightly expanded the display on the 16-inch model from 16.2 to 16.3 when measured diagonally.

Chips

This MacBook model is available with the same M5 Pro and M5 Max chips as the previous generation, with the same configuration options. However, Apple has introduced a higher-tier storage option.

The MacBook Pro can now reach 16TB of storage, up from 8TB.

Glowing Apple Logo

Apple has reintroduced the glowing Apple logo on the back of this model. A few hours ahead of this product’s announcement, Apple CEO John Ternus teased the glowing logo.

This was an iconic feature of the MacBook a decade ago, before it was removed. Many fans had requested throughout the years for this small detail to return.

Thinner & Lighter

In addition to all of these changes, the new touchscreen MacBook Pro is thinner and lighter than the previous generation.

The previous 14-inch M5 Pro model weighed 1.6kg. The new model weighs 1.38kg, which now competes with the MacBook Air. Additionally, the larger 16-inch M5 Pro, which previously weighed over 2kg at 2.14, now weighs 1.82kg.

The weight difference will be a noticeable change for anyone who upgrades.

The device has also got slightly thinner, though this change is not as significant.
