The redesign replaces the notch on previous MacBook Pro models with Dynamic Island, the expandable interface first introduced on the iPhone. On the Mac, it provides access to Spotlight, Siri and Live Activities, allowing users to check real-time updates, answer calls, control music and accept AirDrop requests.
M5 Pro and M5 Max In A Lighter Design
The new MacBook Pro uses the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips introduced earlier in 2026. The M5 Pro is designed for demanding tasks such as 8K video editing, while the M5 Max targets more intensive workloads, including working with complex 3D models and developing AI models.
The touchscreen models retain the same chips as their non-touch counterparts, making the display and design the main changes rather than a new generation of processors.
The 14-inch MacBook Pro weighs approximately 1.36kg, around 227g less than its predecessor. The larger model weighs approximately 1.81kg, a reduction of around 318g. Slimmer bezels also allow the larger screen to grow to 16.3 inches.
The laptop retains its six-speaker sound system, with redesigned woofers that Apple says deliver 50% deeper bass. It also introduces audio tuning for use with the lid closed and an external monitor connected.
Connectivity includes three Thunderbolt ports, HDMI, an SDXC card slot, MagSafe charging and a headphone jack.
