From refreshing the new MacBook lineup, Apple introduced its most advanced professional-grade silicon yet with the Apple M5 Pro and Apple M5 Max chips, designed to supercharge demanding workflows on the latest MacBook Pro models. Built on a new Fusion Architecture, the chips deliver significant boosts in CPU, GPU, and on-device AI performance while maintaining energy efficiency.

According to a new report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, its long-rumoured move into touchscreen notebooks is closer than ever, with the next-generation Apple MacBook Pro set to introduce major interface changes that blend traditional macOS interaction with modern touch capabilities.

Bloomberg claims that Apple is planning to introduce laptops with touchscreen support as early as the end of 2026 or early 2027. This move will also change Apple's stance so far of not including touchscreens on laptops, unlike Microsoft's move.

As previously teased by an Apple executive, the new MacBook Pro has been announced alongside the iPad Pro. Just like the latter, the new laptop is now powered by the brand-new Apple M5 chip, designed to perform the next generation of AI performance, graphics power, and energy efficiency. The starting price is RM6999, with a few variants to choose from.

In a sleek and cryptic teaser that has the tech world buzzing, Apple’s Marketing VP Greg Joswiak dropped a major hint that a new MacBook Pro is officially on the horizon. A simple post on X reading “Mmmmm… something powerful is coming” was accompanied by a mysterious image — a silhouette that looks unmistakably like the next-gen MacBook Pro. Hidden within the teaser are clues pointing to Apple’s next big leap in performance.

According to Bloomberg, Apple is poised to usher in the next generation of its creative hardware lineup with the imminent launch of the M5-powered MacBook Pro and iPad Pro, a key milestone in its transition to AI-driven computing. The move comes as part of Apple's broader strategy to integrate artificial intelligence across its devices and respond to shifting market dynamics.

A recent leak from Apple’s internal code suggests that the upcoming M5-powered MacBook Pro may break its Wi-Fi dependency and include a built-in 5G modem. The code reveals it's powered not only by the next-generation M5 Pro chip, but also by a custom in-house 5G modem codenamed “Centauri", which first appeared in the iPhone 16e.

Apple may have updated the iPad Pro and MacBook Pro models from last year with the Apple M4 chip, but already an update could be coming soon. According to a well-known source, the company could launch new models this year featuring the Apple M5 chip.

Apple was previously set to introduce a new MacBook Pro design, which featured a notch on the screen to position the camera. The design received mixed reactions from various users, some liking it, while others considered it an annoyance on the laptop screen. That said, Apple might change this design. So, what should you know about it?

Today, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg revealed that Apple "just started formal development" on the MacBook Pro with the upcoming M4 chip. You would think we are getting the announcement this year, but the window will likely be in 2025 instead.
