Apple's touchscreen MacBook Pro hits $14,549
Apple has announced a new MacBook Pro with an OLED display and touchscreen capabilities, and it costs more than the MBP announced earlier this year. The base models start at $2,899 for the 14-inch and $3,399 for the 16-inch. Upgrading them with every premium hardware option Apple offers pushes the total to $14,549. For anyone tracking the PC market, the story is less about one configuration and more about how premium options can reshape the price of a laptop. Buyers, IT teams and creators will need to weigh whether touch and OLED justify that gap. It is also a useful reminder to compare configurations carefully before budgeting.
