Apple’s touchscreen MacBook Pro reaches stores in India today — from ₹3,49,900

Apple’s first touchscreen MacBook Pro is on sale in India from today, 9 November 2026. The MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display starts at ₹3,49,900 for the 14-inch model and ₹4,09,900 for the 16-inch, both with the M5 Pro chip. Apple announced the two laptops on 28 October, and pre-orders have been open since then.

The headline is the screen, and Apple has given it a new name to match. PROLED XDR is a tandem OLED panel — two layers of pixels stacked together — that reaches 2,000 nits of peak brightness for HDR and for everyday content alike, with a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio. It runs at ProMotion refresh rates from 10Hz to 120Hz, covers the P3 and Adobe RGB colour spaces, and is available with a nano-texture finish. The camera notch is gone, replaced by a Dynamic Island at the top of the display, as on the iPhone.

Touch is built into the panel itself rather than laid on top, which Apple says keeps the delay between finger and screen to a minimum. Swipe to scroll, pinch to zoom, drag content between windows, or tap a window to fill the screen — alongside the keyboard and trackpad, not instead of them. The Dynamic Island hosts Spotlight, Live Activities and Siri, and Apple has redesigned the hinge so the screen stays steady when you tap it.

Inside, these are the same M5 Pro and M5 Max chips as the non-touchscreen MacBook Pro models: up to 128GB of unified memory and up to 16TB of storage on M5 Max configurations. Battery life is rated at up to 22 hours of video streaming on the 14-inch M5 Pro and up to 24 hours on the 16-inch, with fast charging to 50 percent in 30 minutes. Ports are three Thunderbolt 5, HDMI, an SDXC card slot, MagSafe and a headphone jack. Both sizes come in space black and silver, and both are about half a pound lighter than the models they sit beside.

The touchscreen models sit above the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6, which reached stores on 6 November from ₹2,39,900. The gap between the two 14-inch machines is ₹1,10,000, and it buys the screen and the touch, not speed. Our first impressions of the touchscreen model, and our guide to which of the two 14-inch Macs to buy, are linked below.
