Apple’s Touch MacBook Pro Eases Users Into a Big Change: Hands-On When buyers of Apple Inc.’s new MacBook Pro receive the company’s first touch-screen laptop, they won’t need to unlearn any habits to use it.

Apple’s Touch MacBook Pro Eases Users Into a Big Change: Hands-On When buyers of Apple Inc.’s new MacBook Pro receive the company’s first touch-screen laptop, they won’t need to unlearn any habits to use it. The machine has a vivid organic light emitting diode screen — another first for the lineup — and has shaved off a noticeable amount of weight. And anyone who was worried Apple would make radical changes to its macOS operating system in the name of a more finger-friendly experience can breathe easy. A hands-on preview of the clumsily named “MacBook Pro PROLED XDR Display,” which ships Nov. 6 for $2,899 and up, convinced me that there are no sweeping changes coming to the Mac as a result of the touch screen. Apple isn’t trading the elegance and precision of its desktop OS for comically sized touch targets. Yes, you can now control it with multi-finger gestures, but the MacBook Pro doesn’t suddenly feel more akin to an iPad.
