Bloomberg: touchscreen MacBook Pro keeps macOS familiar
Bloomberg's Chris Welch tried Apple's first touchscreen MacBook Pro and found a measured approach: touch works smoothly without reshaping macOS, though the tiny window buttons are awkward to tap. The laptop starts at $2,899 and ships on 6 November.
- The touch sensor is built into the OLED panel rather than layered on top
- Menus spread items apart when touched, then return to normal with trackpad use
- The three window buttons enlarge with an animation Welch called sluggish
- Pricing starts at $2,899, mostly for the 2,000-nit dual-layer OLED
