Apple introduced 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with its PROLED XDR tandem-OLED display on October 28. The announcement says the notebooks add touch input and use M5 Pro or M5 Max chips.

Apple opened preorders on the announcement date and scheduled availability for November 6. Product features in this brief come from Apple’s release, rather than independent testing. These models are distinct from the separately announced 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6.
