News & Reviews:   MacBook Pro

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.

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.

Before October ended, Apple made one last announcement - the new MacBook Pro with M4, M4 Pro and M4 Max chips. Coming to Malaysia soon in Space Black and Silver finishes, the 14-inch MacBook Pro with 16GB of memory will start at just RM6,999. 

Previously, we reported that Apple could have another event for the new Macs and iPads at the end of October. However, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg said otherwise, although the alleged date is not that far from our speculation.

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.

Just this morning, Apple had a short presentation on its latest M3 series MacBook Pro and iMac devices. In this article, we will be taking a look at the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro with all of its highlighted features, specs, prices and availability for the Malaysian market.

Apple has released iOS 17, iPadOS 17, watchOS 10 and tvOS 17 already, but not for macOS Sonoma until today. So Mac users, you can now get your hands on the latest software update through over-the-air (OTA) in the settings.

Back in March, it was rumoured that Apple would be launching new Apple M3-powered PCs by this year. The iMac is likely to get the upgrade first, followed by the MacBook Air at a later date. Now, we also have some information on one of the M3 chip's configuration.
