Apple Launches Touchscreen MacBook Pro with High-End Configurations Reaching $14,549
Apple has officially introduced the touchscreen MacBook Pro, marking a significant hardware shift for the company. The new lineup features the M5 Max chip and offers extreme customization options, leading to a record-high price ceiling of $14,549 for the 16-inch model. This represents a $4,400 increase over the previous generation's maximum configuration price. The steep pricing is attributed to high hardware demands driven by AI requirements and ongoing memory shortages. Significant upcharges are applied for storage upgrades, including a $7,000 premium for 16TB SSD options, and additional costs for increased memory and nano-texture glass. Preorders for the new devices begin on October 30, with general availability starting November 6.
