The MacBook Pro’s touchscreen is useful, but not the main event

That may be the point. Steve Jobs argued that touchscreens did not belong on laptops, while some users wanted the option. Apple has now added touch to the MacBook Pro without making it central to the experience, the reviewer writes. On several occasions, using the screen felt more useful or intuitive than reaching for a trackpad or mouse, but the laptop is not defined by that feature.

The reviewer describes the machine as an evolution of Apple’s most powerful laptop, with new upgrades and no new problems. It performed as expected for a laptop at its price, and the review found little about the device or the experience of using it surprising. The model’s full name is MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display; the reviewer says they will call it the “PROLED Pro” instead.
