Watch Apple's Reveal Video for the Touchscreen MacBook Pro
Apple has given a first look at its first MacBook with a touchscreen.
A Long-Awaited First
For years, Apple resisted bringing touch input to the Mac, insisting that the iPad was the right home for touchscreens and that macOS was designed for the pointer-and-keyboard workflow. That stance has now officially changed. In a newly released reveal video, Apple offered its first public glimpse of a MacBook Pro equipped with a touchscreen β a milestone for the company's flagship laptop line.
What the Video Shows
The reveal video walks viewers through the touchscreen MacBook Pro's headline feature: a display that responds to direct finger input while running macOS. Apple framed the addition as a natural extension of the Mac experience rather than a replacement for the trackpad and keyboard, which remain central to the design.
Why It Matters in 2026
The announcement lands as touch-enabled laptops have become standard across the Windows ecosystem and as Apple's own iPad Pro lineup has grown closer to laptop-class performance. By bringing touch to the MacBook Pro, Apple closes one of the most visible gaps between its laptops and competing devices β and signals a broader shift in how it views the boundary between iPad and Mac.
What's Next
Apple has not yet detailed full pricing, availability, or the complete hardware specifications of the touchscreen MacBook Pro. Those details are expected to follow as the product moves toward launch. For now, the reveal video offers the clearest look yet at how Apple intends to blend touch with the Mac.
