Apple MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR display features touchscreen and backlit logo

Apple has launched its first MacBook Pro featuring a touchscreen and a PROLED XDR tandem OLED display. The new hardware includes a redesigned hinge and an illuminated Apple logo on the lid, which is powered by four internal LEDs and a diffuser rather than traditional LCD backlighting.

Technical teardowns by iFixit reveal that while the device is lighter than previous models, certain repairs remain difficult. Replacing the fans or USB-C ports requires removing the entire logic board, and the HDMI port, SDXC slot, RAM, and storage are soldered to the board. The touchscreen functionality does not appear to introduce new component pairing restrictions, as logic board swaps successfully maintained Touch ID and display calibration.

The new OLED panel offers high brightness, peaking at approximately 2,000 nits, and features a 120 Hz refresh rate. In some markets, such as Brazil, high-end configurations including the M5 Max chip and maximum storage can reach significant costs, estimated at up to R$ 183,000.
