Apple's Touchscreen MacBook Pro Set for Autumn Launch

Apple is set to enter the touchscreen laptop market with a new MacBook Pro model. Rumours suggest the device, codenamed 'Medici', will go into production as soon as autumn, following Microsoft's lead in offering touchscreen laptops since 2015.

Apple's foray into touchscreen laptops comes after years of perfecting the technology with the iPad Pro. The upcoming MacBook Pro is expected to run the full version of macOS, not iPadOS, and will be able to run iPad apps, positioning the Mac as a potential touchscreen laptop platform. This move could challenge Microsoft's Surface Laptop 7, which is currently considered better than the MacBook Air M4 in many aspects. Apple users have already noticed that the latest macOS version seems touch-optimized, hinting at the company's plans for a touchscreen MacBook Pro.

The touchscreen MacBook Pro, rumoured to be named 'Medici', is expected to enter production as soon as next fall. This marks a significant shift in Apple's laptop offerings, following Microsoft's success with touchscreen laptops. The device is expected to run the full version of macOS and will be able to run iPad apps, potentially making it a strong competitor in the touchscreen laptop market.
