What changed since our last update
This is a new page, written the day after Apple's October 28 announcement. Every price and detail comes from the dated sources named here. Reports differ on a few details, and we say where.
What we know about Touchscreen MacBook Pro (OLED) pricing
Apple sets the price. At launch, savings come from education pricing, trade-ins and, later, resellers such as Amazon. We found no reseller discount on the new model yet.
- $2,899 and $3,399: BGR (October 28, 2026), Gizmodo (October 28, 2026) and MacRumors (October 28, 2026) agree on these starting prices for the M5 Pro 14-inch and 16-inch. Pre-orders opened October 28 and it ships November 6.
- The touch premium: BGR (October 28, 2026) said the touchscreen M5 Pro models cost $400 more than the non-touch versions, which it listed at $2,499 (14-inch) and $2,999 (16-inch) and said remain on sale.
- M5 Max costs more: reports differ on the 14-inch M5 Max, at $4,499 in BGR (October 28, 2026) and $4,449 in Gizmodo (October 28, 2026). Both list the 16-inch at $4,799. Check Apple's configurator for your exact build.
- Education pricing: Gizmodo (October 28, 2026) listed $2,749 (14-inch) and $3,199 (16-inch), which is $150 and $200 below the standard prices.
- What it is: a 14-inch and 16-inch laptop with an OLED display Apple calls PROLED XDR that supports touch, an M5 Pro or M5 Max chip and up to 128GB of memory, per BGR (October 28, 2026) and Gizmodo (October 28, 2026). The glowing Apple logo on the lid returns, and there is no notch, only a Dynamic Island.
- Ports: BGR (October 28, 2026) listed three Thunderbolt 5 ports, HDMI, an SD card slot, MagSafe and a headphone jack.
- Older models: MacRumors (October 28, 2026) reported the older MacBook Pro models were discontinued, but BGR (October 28, 2026) said the non-touch M5 Pro and M5 Max remain on sale. BGR and Gizmodo both said a 14-inch M6 MacBook Pro with a mini-LED display was announced on October 27 at $1,999. Reports differ, so check Apple's store.
Is $2,899 the best price you can get for the 14-inch?
Check the exact chip and storage, then see whether education pricing, a trade-in or a reseller can bring it down.

How to tell whether today's price is fair
Use a simple five-step check before you pre-order.
- Pick the chip first: M5 Pro or M5 Max, and the memory and storage you need. The price rises quickly.
- Ask whether you need touch: it adds $400 over the non-touch M5 Pro, per BGR.
- Check education and trade-in: education pricing was $150 to $200 lower on the base models, per Gizmodo.
- Compare resellers later: Macworld reported Amazon at $1,886.31 on the M5 14-inch in July, against a $1,999 MSRP. A launch-month reseller discount on this model is not guaranteed.
- Read independent reviews after November 6 before you commit.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Comparing the wrong chip. M5 Pro and M5 Max prices are far apart, and reports differ on the 14-inch M5 Max.
- Paying the touch premium by default. It is $400 more than the non-touch M5 Pro, and the non-touch model remains on sale per BGR.
- Skipping education pricing. It was $150 to $200 below the standard price, per Gizmodo.
- Waiting for a discount that may not come. We found no reseller discount on the new model yet.
