Apple’s First Touchscreen MacBook Pro Goes on Sale With OLED iPad Mini and M6 iMac

Apple’s first Mac with a touchscreen went on sale on Friday, alongside a new iPad mini with an OLED display, a new iMac and a standard MacBook Pro with the company’s M6 chip.

Touchscreen MacBook Pro leads the launch

The touchscreen MacBook Pro, announced on October 28, is the headline device of the five-product launch. Its 14-inch and 16-inch models use a PROLED XDR display, Apple’s name for a tandem OLED panel, that supports touch input and reaches up to 2,000 nits of peak brightness for both standard and high dynamic range content. Apple says it is the best display in a pro laptop. The notch is gone, replaced by a Dynamic Island, and the lid carries a glowing rear Apple logo.

The touchscreen models run on M5 Pro or M5 Max chips and start at $2,899 for the 14-inch model and $3,399 for the 16-inch model. A separate 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M6 chip starts at $1,999, with a 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU, plus Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 through Apple’s N1 wireless chip.

OLED iPad mini and M6 iMac

The eighth-generation iPad mini is Apple’s smallest tablet and the first in the line with an OLED display. The 8.5-inch Super Retina XDR screen reaches up to 1,200 nits of peak brightness, with a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio and a 1-nit minimum brightness. A nano-texture glass option is offered for the first time on the 256GB and 512GB models. At 5.4mm thin and 255 grams, it is the lightest iPad Apple has made, and it is the first iPad rated IP67 for water and dust resistance. It runs on the A20 Pro chip, and its front camera has moved to the long edge for video calls. The screen stays at a 60Hz refresh rate, with no ProMotion, which has been the main point of criticism in early reviews. Prices start at $699 for the 128GB Wi-Fi model.

The new iMac is the first update to Apple’s all-in-one desktop since the M4 model. The M6 chip offers up to a 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU, and Apple says graphics run up to twice as fast as the previous generation. It also gains Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and an optional 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port on the power adapter. Prices start at $1,499 for the 10-core model and $1,699 for the 12-core model.

All five products are on sale from Friday through Apple’s online store and the Apple Store app, and the first pre-orders are arriving with customers today. They are also reaching Apple Store locations and authorized resellers. Apple’s online checkout shows many configurations of the touchscreen MacBook Pro shipping in two to three weeks, so buyers who want one at once may have more luck in a store, where at least some base configurations are usually in stock.
