        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia \u2014 Apple is reportedly preparing to launch its\nfirst touchscreen laptop in more than a decade. The latest MacBook Pro\nis expected to be unveiled at an event on 28 October 2026.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday (19 October 2026), Apple sent invitations to a product\nlaunch event on 28 October titled \u201cApple Experience in Los Angeles\u201d. An\nemail received by media outlets said \u201cPro and tell\u201d, hinting at a\npremium product carrying the \u201cPro\u201d label and featuring an\nin-house-designed chip.<\/p>\n<p>Melius Research analyst Ben Reitzes expects the new Mac product to\nhave a touchscreen.<\/p>\n<p>Apple is also said to have provided several clues in the macOS 27\nbeta, including touch support for Sidecar, a pull-to-refresh feature and\nslightly larger menu bar elements.<\/p>\n<p>The latest MacBook Pro is expected to use a Tandem OLED panel, a\ntechnology also used in the iPad Pro. The panel combines several OLED\nlayers to produce richer colours, stronger contrast and higher\nbrightness.<\/p>\n<p>The laptop is also rumoured to feature a Dynamic Island smaller than\nthe one on the iPhone. However, the device is not expected to support\nFace ID.<\/p>\n<p>To support touchscreen use, Apple is reportedly preparing interface\nchanges to macOS. Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman reported that the system will\ndisplay additional menus around users\u2019 fingers when they touch certain\nbuttons or controls.<\/p>\n<p>The size of some controls will also adjust to make them easier to\nselect with a finger. These changes are intended to make touchscreen\nnavigation more practical.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of performance, the latest MacBook Pro is expected to use M5\nPro and M5 Max chips. Apple is reportedly no longer planning to\nintroduce M6 Pro and M6 Max chips in this model, while development of\nthe M7 chip is expected to be one of the company\u2019s next priorities.<\/p>\n<p>Apple is also said to be making the MacBook Pro thinner and lighter\nby redesigning its internal components. The changes are expected to\nimprove comfort without compromising the device\u2019s cooling system.<\/p>\n<p>Apple could release the latest MacBook Pro on 6 November 2026. The\nlaunch would be part of a four-week run of new Apple products, including\nthe iPhone Duo, HomePod mini 2, the latest MacBook Pro, HomeView and\nApple TV 4K.<\/p>",
