By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Apple is introducing its first MacBook with a touchscreen, a feature long present in the Windows ecosystem. The new MacBook Pro models will start at $2,899 for the 14-inch version and $3,399 for the 16-inch, with fully configured versions potentially exceeding $14,000. While Apple is adding this capability, the company is not planning extensive changes to macOS to accommodate touch input. AI
