It’s a notable evolution of the MacBook Pro at a much higher price.

The least interesting thing about Apple's new touchscreen MacBook Pro is the touchscreen. The new MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display, as it's awkwardly called, is better seen as a total redesign of Apple's premium laptops. Both models are slimmer and lighter on every front: The 14-inch model weighs 3 pounds, down from the standard MacBook Pro's 3.7 pounds, while the 16-inch model goes from 4.7 pounds to 4 pounds. It also marks the first time the MacBook Pro has been graced with OLED screens, which are gloriously colorful in all the ways OLEDs tend to be.
