Apple\u2019s upcoming touchscreen MacBook lineup will be powered by the existing M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, according to a new report from Bloomberg.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A surprising update on the touchscreen Mac <\/h2>\n

According to today\u2019s report, the revamped MacBook models are on track to \u201carrive between late this year and early next year.\u201d They will mark Apple\u2019s first-ever touchscreen Mac, an idea that the company has refuted for years.<\/p>\n

These new MacBooks will also have OLED screens, marking another first for the Mac, and will come in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes. Apple is also bringing the Dynamic Island to the Mac for the first time, replacing the existing notch design.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe devices will also sport an updated industrial design, marking the first visual change to high-end MacBooks since 2021,\u201d according to the report.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s report follows a separate story from Mark Gurman yesterday, which said revealed Apple\u2019s plans to skip higher-end chips in the forthcoming M6 generation. This, of course, led to much consternation about the status of the new touchscreen MacBook line, which was previously expected to use M6 Pro and M6 Max chips.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg also reports that Apple is in \u201cadvanced testing\u201d of the follow-up to these new MacBook models powered by M7 Pro and M7 Max chips. That update is \u201cplanned for as early as the end of 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n

9to5Mac\u2019s Take<\/h2>\n

One thing I\u2019m particularly interested in is how Apple will brand this new touchscreen MacBook, especially given that it will use the same chip as the current MacBook Pro lineup. <\/p>\n

If I had to bet on it, I\u2019d say MacBook Ultra is the leading candidate right now.<\/p>\n
