Photographer: Samyukta Lakshmi\/Bloomberg via Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Apple has long avoided adding touchscreens to its MacBooks. In 2010, Jobs, who was Apple\u2019s CEO at the time, said at a launch event that touchscreen laptops would be \u201cergonomically terrible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve done tons of user testing on this, and it turns out it doesn\u2019t work,\u201d Jobs said at the time. \u201cTouch surfaces don\u2019t want to be vertical. It gives great demo, but after a short period of time, you start to fatigue, and after an extended period of time, your arm wants to fall off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jobs\u2019 successor and current CEO, Tim Cook, agreed, saying in a 2012 earnings call that merging a tablet and a laptop was like putting a \u201ctoaster\u201d together with a \u201crefrigerator.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Related:<\/b> Apple\u2019s Foldable iPhone Release Date Has Been Revealed, According to a JPMorgan Investor Letter<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can converge a toaster and a refrigerator, but those aren\u2019t going to be pleasing to the user,\u201d Cook said at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the touchscreen laptop market has become a sizable one, with global revenue for touchscreen laptops reaching around $50 billion so far this year and projected to hit $120 billion by 2033, according to Data Insights Market. By comparison, the overall global laptop market was valued at $194.25 billion in 2022 and is forecast to grow to $334.51 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research.<\/p>\n<p>The new touchscreen laptop displays will reportedly use OLED technology, the same advanced screens found in iPhones and iPad Pros. Rather than use the traditional \u201cnotch\u201d design with a top cutout for the camera, Apple plans to adopt a \u201chole\u2011punch\u201d approach, integrating a small circular or pill\u2011shaped cutout directly into the screen to house the front camera.<\/p>\n<p><b>Related: <\/b>Apple Revealed the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and AirPods With Live Translation. Here\u2019s What to Know.<\/p>\n<p>The touchscreen MacBook Pros will still feature a full-sized keyboard and trackpad, allowing users to operate the device conventionally without relying on the touch display. Apple has also strengthened the laptop\u2019s build with an upgraded hinge and redesigned display, so the screen stays stable and doesn\u2019t move or bounce when touched, per <i>Bloomberg<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Apple also updated the 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 chip on Wednesday. The new chip boasts faster computing speeds, enhanced graphics and improved capabilities for AI-driven tasks.<\/p>\n<p>The tech giant is also working on updating its MacBook Air lineup with the M5 chip, with plans to release the devices in the spring of 2026, according to Gurman. The $999 MacBook Air remains Apple\u2019s top\u2011selling laptop, per the report.<\/p>\n<p><b>Related: <\/b>Apple Is Making a Major Change to Its Operating Systems Across All Products.
