The MacBook Pro M6 line stands out with a touch-sensitive OLED screen and Dynamic Island feature similar to the iPhone, opening up a new experience for high-end laptop users.
The new MacBook Pro models are expected to be launched at the end of 2026, including 14-inch and 16-inch versions. This will be the first time Apple equips a touchscreen for the MacBook Pro line, while applying OLED technology for better display quality, more vivid and more energy-saving than current mini-LED screens.
One of the notable highlights is Dynamic Island, a small area around the "hole-punch" camera located in the middle of the screen, allowing to display information such as timers, notifications or multitasking controls visually.
The macOS interface is said to be flexible between touch mode and trackpad/mouse control, such as expanding menu buttons for easy finger operation. The processor on this generation is called M6 Pro and M6 Max, manufactured on Apple's new 2 nm process.
Compared to the current M5 chip, the M6 chip is expected to bring higher performance and better energy efficiency, suitable for heavy tasks such as 8K video editing, AI processing right on the machine and in-depth creative applications.
Apple has not officially announced the price of the M6 chip line, but analysts predict that the starting price will continue to be maintained in the high-end segment, usually starting from about 1,999 USD or more depending on configuration, similar to the existing MacBook Pro M5 Pro/Max line, or higher due to the addition of OLED screens and touch.
Compared to the MacBook Pro M5 currently on the market, the M6 version not only upgrades configuration but also marks a revolution in user experience by integrating screen touch and Dynamic Island.
This may help Apple compete better with Windows ultrabooks such as Dell XPS, HP Spectre or Microsoft Surface, which have long been equipped with touch screens.
While Windows competitors take advantage of touch to increase flexibility, Apple is currently approaching a combination of touch and mouse/trackpad, helping users maintain traditional Mac style while still taking advantage of the benefits of the new touch screen.
Analysts believe that if Apple successfully deploys touch OLED screens on the MacBook Pro M6, this will be the biggest transformation of the MacBook line since the company switched to Apple Silicon in 2020.
This change not only upgrades hardware, but can also reshape how users interact with macOS in the era of AI and high-performance mobile computing.
