GoKawiilApple's maxed-out 16-inch MacBook Pro with OLED touchscreen hits $14,549
Apple's newly announced MacBook Pro with OLED display and touchscreen starts at $2,899 for the 14-inch model and $3,399 for the 16-inch model, but fully upgraded configurations reach $14,249 and $14,549 respectively. The top prices include an M5 Max chip, nano-texture glass, 128GB of memory, and 16TB of storage.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The 16TB storage upgrade alone adds roughly $7,000 to the price, reflecting an ongoing memory shortage that is driving up component costs industry-wide. Compared to the previous generation's maxed-out price of $10,149, the jump suggests storage costs, not new display tech, are the main driver of the higher ceiling, since an 8TB version only costs about $400 more than last year's top model.
- New MacBook Pro base prices start at $2,899 (14-inch) and $3,399 (16-inch).
- Fully specced versions with 16TB storage cost $14,249 and $14,549.
- The 16TB storage upgrade alone adds about $7,000, tied to a broader memory shortage.
Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch M5 — If the maxed-out $14,549 configuration is a bit much, the base M5 MacBook Pro offers the same new OLED touchscreen design and Apple silicon performance at a far more reasonable price. It's a great way to get into Apple's latest laptop lineup without the eye-watering storage upgrade costs.
