Summary
With an OLED display and touchscreen capabilities, it’s no surprise that the new MacBook Pro Apple announced today is more expensive than the MBP announced earlier this year. Both of those premium configurations include the M5 Max chip with an 18-core CPU and 40-core GPU, $150 worth of nano-texture glass, 128GB of memory that adds an extra $2,000, and 16TB of storage which is the real budget breaker here thanks to the ongoing memory shortage. Maximizing the configuration of the previous 16-inch version of the MacBook Pro topped out at $10,149, according to MacRumors, but today’s $14,549 price is a result of the 16TB storage option that Apple now offers which adds an extra $7,000 to the new MacBook Pro’s price.
