Touchscreen MacBook Pro Could Be Lighter
Apple is expected to unveil its next-generation MacBook Pro models in the coming months. The new laptops will reportedly feature a touchscreen and Tandem OLED technology for the first time in MacBook history. The models are also claimed to be noticeably lighter than current MacBook Pro models.
According to the report, Apple has redesigned the laptop’s internal structure to make it easier to carry. The company has reportedly made some parts smaller and changed the placement of components inside the chassis.
For comparison, the current 16-inch MacBook Pro weighs approximately 2.18 kg, while the 15-inch MacBook Air weighs approximately 1.5 kg. Therefore, a significant reduction in the new MacBook Pro’s weight could make a noticeable difference in everyday use. However, the exact weight of the new models has not yet been disclosed.
In addition to an OLED touchscreen, the new MacBook Pro models are expected to replace the notch in the display bezel with Dynamic Island. The laptops will reportedly feature M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, while the chassis will be thinner.
However, it remains unclear how Apple will maintain cooling system performance while transitioning to a thinner and lighter chassis. Managing the heat generated by the powerful M5 Pro and M5 Max chips in a slimmer chassis could be one of the key technical considerations for the new models.
Some changes to macOS are also expected to accommodate the touchscreen and Dynamic Island. According to the report, Apple is currently testing the new MacBook Pro models with macOS 27.2, which is in beta.
The redesigned MacBook Pro models are expected to be unveiled in October or November. This could allow Apple to bring OLED displays, touch controls, thinner chassis and next-generation processors to the MacBook Pro lineup at the same time.
