Apple's First Touchscreen MacBook Pro in 16 Years: OLED PROLED XDR, $3000 Premium — Worth It?

Apple launches its first touchscreen MacBook Pro with tandem OLED PROLED XDR display (2000 nits), Dynamic Island, and lighter design, but uses M5 chips not M6, costs $3000 more per tier; iPad mini 8 gets OLED but stuck at 60Hz; M6 iMac/MacBook Pro 14 are routine updates; local AI users should wait for M5 Pro/Max or Mac Studio.
