Available to order on October 28 before shipping on November 6, the laptops start at $2,899 for the 14-inch model and $3,399 for the 16-inch version.

The updated chassis are noticeably thinner and lighter, with the 14-inch model dropping to 15 mm and 1.4 kg, while the 16-inch model measures 16 mm and weighs 1.84 kg. Branded as the PROLED XDR Display, the new Tandem OLED panel reaches up to 2,000 nits peak brightness, 1,000 nits across the full panel, and supports a 10-120 Hz variable refresh rate. Apple also swapped the display notch for a punch-hole camera and added touchscreen functionality, backed by multitouch gestures inside macOS 27 Golden Gate. [1][2]

Beyond the revamped design and screen, the laptops retain familiar features, including MagSafe charging, Thunderbolt 5, Wi-Fi 7, and battery capacities of 72.6 Wh on the 14-inch model and 100 Wh on the 16-inch model. Buyers can also configure the screens with optional nano-texture glass. [2]
