Apple has announced its first MacBook Pro laptop with a touchscreen. Apple executive John Ternus showed the new computer at an event in Los Angeles. The new MacBook Pro has a bright OLED screen and the Apple logo on the back lights up again. The starting price for the 14-inch model is $2,899, and the 16-inch version costs $4,799. People can order the laptops now, and sales will start on 6 November.

Apple decided to add a touchscreen because more people now expect this feature. Touchscreens are common on smartphones and tablets. Many customers want to tap and swipe on all screens, not just phones or tablets. This trend in user habits is why Apple changed its design decision.

The new touchscreen MacBook Pro is more expensive than many other laptops. Apple has also improved the cooling system to protect the screen from damage over time. The touchscreen feature could be useful for people who work with photos and videos.
