Apple has announced its first-ever touchscreen laptop during a "Pro and Tell" event in Cupertino. The new MacBook Pro features an OLED display and starts at $2,899, with fully upgraded models reaching $14,549.

Apple has officially revealed its first-ever laptop to feature a touchscreen, ending years of company resistance to touch-enabled portable computers. The device was unveiled during a "Pro and Tell" event in Cupertino, marking a notable design shift for the product line.

The new MacBook Pro incorporates an OLED display as its main draw, which reports describe as looking great on a Mac. The touch sensor is integrated directly rather than functioning as a separate layer on the screen. While the chassis maintains a familiar overall look, the redesigned laptop is thinner and lighter, weighing just three pounds.

Pricing for the base model begins at $2,899. However, customers who choose to add every available upgrade to the fully specced version will face a price tag of up to $14,549.
