Apple fans, the day many thought would never come has finally arrived! Apple has unveiled its first-ever touchscreen MacBook Pro, bringing a feature that’s been available on plenty of other laptops for years to the world of Mac.

Just Tap, Swipe and Go

The new MacBook Pro lets users tap, swipe, pinch to zoom and drag content directly on the screen, meaning you won’t have to rely entirely on the trackpad anymore.

The upgrade also introduces an OLED display, a Dynamic Island similar to the one on the iPhone, and Apple’s latest M5 Pro and M5 Max chips.

Apple says the new models are designed to make life easier for creative professionals, with touchscreen controls that could come in handy for everything from editing videos to making music.

The new 14-inch MacBook Pro starts at around $2,899 in Australia, while the 16-inch model kicks off at $3,399.
