Apple launches its new touchscreen MacBook Pro
The OLED display is the main draw, but the price is a lot to reckon with.
What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on Apple unveiling a new MacBook Pro with a touchscreen and OLED display, and several also note pricing or preorder timing. The Verge gives the fullest event framing, with live coverage, hands-on reaction, and follow-up video, while Bloomberg frames the launch as a break with Apple’s long-held stance on touch screens. 9to5Mac is alone in surfacing leak-style details and promo-video coverage, and Ars Technica and Tom’s Hardware also emphasize related M6/iMac updates.
