Apple has introduced touch-enabled OLED displays to its MacBook Pro laptop lineup. Powered by M5 Pro and M5 Max silicon, the new machines hit retail shelves on November 6, 2026.
A Paradigm Shift in Laptop Display Engineering
The machinery comes in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes. Users can browse web pages, zoom in on photos, and manipulate video content using gestures directly on the screen. The 14.2-inch model weighs 1.38 kilograms, while the 16.3-inch version weighs 1.82 kilograms, representing a weight reduction of 220 and 320 grams respectively compared to previous iterations. Apple představil nový MacBook Pro, který díky kombinaci dotykového OLED displeje a čipů M5 Pro a M5 Max nabízí nové možnosti interakce s obsahem.
The display also incorporates the Dynamic Island, a feature previously exclusive to iPhones, which allows users to track ongoing information, control music, receive calls, or confirm AirDrop transfers. The new MacBook Pro features a backlit logo, a design element the company is reviving after approximately a decade.

Apple Redesigns the Laptop Hinge for Stability
Under the hood, the screen uses tandem OLED technology. The ProMotion technology allows the refresh rate to adapt between 10 Hz and 120 Hz. The display supports the P3 and Adobe RGB color spaces, with an optional nanotexture glass coating available to minimize glare.
Stability is paramount during physical screen interaction. Apple redesigned the laptop hinge to accommodate the new physical dynamics and added camera image stabilization to mitigate vibrations during video calls. The touch sensor is integrated directly into the display panel rather than being an additional layer, aimed at ensuring rapid response times.
Apple Introduces the M6 Processor with a Dedicated Neural Accelerator
While the touch-enabled flagships rely on M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, Apple simultaneously refreshed its entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro and iMac lineup with the new M6 processor. Each graphics core in the M6 now features a dedicated Neural Accelerator for AI processing.
Apple promises up to 2.5 times faster performance in applications like Microsoft Excel compared to the M1-based iMac, and up to 2 times faster gaming performance with ray tracing compared to the M4 model. The M6 chip includes a 12-core CPU configuration and a new networking module supporting Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread technology. The updated iMac retains its 24.5-inch 4.5K resolution display (4480×2520 pixels) but gains the option for nanotexture glass. It also features a 12MPx Center Stage camera with support for Desk View and Full HD 1080p recording.
Touch-Enabled MacBook Pro Models Start at 84,990 Kč
The touch-enabled MacBook Pro models start at 84,990 Kč for the 14-inch version with an M5 Pro chip, while the 16-inch model starts at 99,990 Kč. High-end configurations using the M5 Max chip reach prices of 131,990 Kč and 141,990 Kč, respectively. Pre-orders for the new hardware began on October 28, 2026, with retail availability scheduled for November 6.
Entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro models with the M6 chip are priced starting at 57,990 Kč for a configuration with 16 GB of memory and a 1 TB SSD. The iMac with the M6 processor starts at 44,990 Kč for the 10-core version.
Will Existing Mac Applications Support Touch Gestures?
Will existing Mac applications support touch gestures?
Yes, macOS 27 Golden Gate can translate touch inputs into standard mouse clicks for most existing applications. More complex, custom gestures will require specific updates from software developers, which are expected to arrive later this year.
How does the M6 chip compare to the M5 series in the new MacBook Pro?
The M6 chip is designed for the entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro and the updated iMac, focusing on AI-driven tasks and general performance increases. The touch-enabled MacBook Pro models utilize the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, which are optimized for professional workflows like 3D graphics and high-end video editing.
Does the new iMac feature a higher refresh rate?
No, the 24.5-inch iMac continues to use a 60 Hz display. While the hardware under the hood has been updated to the M6 processor, the screen specifications remain consistent with previous generations.
