These laptops are also lighter and incorporate the Dynamic Island from iPhones, replacing the previous notch. While the new displays offer superior brightness and contrast, the touchscreen functionality is described as basic and does not support Apple Pencil. The updated MacBook Pros come with a significant price increase, with the 14-inch model starting at $2,899 and the 16-inch at $3,399. AI
