> Apple launches new MacBook Pro 14 and 16 models featuring M5 Pro chips and the first-ever touch-sensitive PROLED XDR displays.

**Apple** has officially unveiled its latest **MacBook Pro** 14 and 16 models, marking a significant hardware milestone. These laptops feature the new **M5 Pro** chip and introduce touch-sensitive **PROLED XDR** displays, the first time Apple has added touch to its lineup.

The PROLED XDR screens utilize Tandem OLED technology, reaching a peak brightness of 2,000 nits. While available in glossy and nano-texture finishes, YouTuber Dave2D noted the nano-texture option is prone to fingerprints during active multi-touch usage.

To support this hardware shift, Apple optimized **macOS** for touch input with specific UI animation changes. This transition represents a major evolution for the MacBook Pro, blending high-end display performance with a newly interactive software experience.
