MacBook Pro With OLED Display Rumored to Be 'Significantly Lighter'
Mark Gurman reports that upcoming MacBook Pro models featuring OLED displays will be significantly lighter. Apple has achieved this by reengineering the internal layout, miniaturizing parts, and rearranging components. Current MacBook Pro models can weigh up to 4.7 pounds, with the MacBook Air at 3.3 pounds and MacBook Neo at 2.7 pounds. The new OLED MacBook Pros are also rumored to include a touch screen and Dynamic Island, replacing the notch. These models will be powered by M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, contributing to a thinner and lighter design. Apple is targeting an October or November release for these OLED MacBook Pros. These laptops are currently undergoing testing with a beta version of macOS 27.2. The OLED models are anticipated to be positioned as higher-end, more expensive options within Apple's product range. This focus on a thinner and lighter build aligns with the trend of miniaturization in modern devices. These details paint a picture of a substantial upgrade to the MacBook Pro line.
