Apple has launched its first touchscreen MacBook Pro in India, featuring an OLED display, Dynamic Island, and M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. Users can now tap, swipe, and zoom on the laptop screen.
There is big news for Apple laptop users. The company has finally introduced a touchscreen feature for the MacBook Pro in India. Previously, users had to rely on a keyboard and trackpad to operate a MacBook, but with this new model, they will be able to tap, swipe, and zoom directly on the screen. Apple unveiled the new MacBook Pro at its ‘Pro and Tell’ event. It features a touchscreen with an OLED display, Dynamic Island, and is powered by Apple’s M5 Pro and M5 Max processors. The company has also updated the laptop’s interface to make it easier to navigate and work using the touchscreen.
Here is the price of the new MacBook Pro in India
In India, the starting price for the 14-inch model of Apple’s new MacBook Pro is ₹3,49,900, while the 16-inch model is priced at ₹4,09,900. The company has positioned these laptops within the premium segment; their price is significantly higher than that of standard laptops. Sales for the new MacBook Pro are set to begin on November 6, 2026.
Special Features in the New MacBook Pro
OLED Display Offers an Enhanced Visual Experience
The new MacBook Pro features an OLED display, which Apple has branded as “ProLED XDR.” In OLED technology, the individual pixels of the screen emit their own light. This display is particularly useful for those involved in photo editing, video editing, graphic design, or other visual-intensive tasks. It also supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, powered by ProMotion technology.
Dynamic Island—Previously Exclusive to the iPhone—Comes to the MacBook
The new MacBook Pro now includes the “Dynamic Island.” While previously associated only with the iPhone, Apple has integrated this feature into the MacBook Pro interface as well. Through the Dynamic Island, users can view essential information and ongoing activities at the top of the screen—such as Spotlight search results, music controls, and “Live Activities.” Additionally, the new MacBook Pro is equipped with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, processors designed specifically for users who perform demanding, heavy-duty tasks on their laptops.
Software Interface Optimized for Touch
To make the touchscreen easier to use, Apple has modified the macOS interface. Certain controls may now appear near your finger when you touch the screen. Menus and other interface elements have also been refined for a better touch experience. For connectivity, the device supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. It also includes an HDMI port, an SDXC card slot, a MagSafe 3 port, a headphone jack, and three Thunderbolt 5 ports.
Battery Life of Up to 24 Hours
Apple claims that the new MacBook Pro offers a battery life of up to 24 hours—a benefit for those who use their laptops at the office, at college, or while traveling. Tasks such as video editing, running resource-intensive software, maintaining high screen brightness, or continuous internet usage may cause the battery to drain faster. According to the company, the laptop can be charged to 50% capacity in just 30 minutes. Additionally, the new model features an improved thermal system, a six-speaker audio setup, and studio-quality microphones.
