According to information reported by Bloomberg editor Mark Gurman, Apple’s new MacBook Pro model with an OLED and touchscreen will be lighter than the current generations. Apple is reportedly planning to reduce the weight by shrinking and rearranging the internal components. The device is said to be offered with M5 chips without waiting for M7, while the M7 family is expected to launch in early 2027.
Why it matters
This development suggests that portability and the way the device is used could take precedence over performance gains in the MacBook Pro lineup. The expectation of an OLED panel, touchscreen functionality and lower weight makes the device meaningful for professionals looking for different interaction options alongside display quality. The choice of M5 also indicates that Apple could prioritize a new hardware and design approach within the current generation rather than wait for the newest chip family in its product schedule. However, the information consists of claims based on Mark Gurman’s sources; therefore, it is not yet clear whether the display, weight and chip choice will be the product’s final specifications. The M7 family being left for a subsequent period also keeps the question of positioning between the two chip generations on the agenda.
