The touchscreen stayed switched off. After 48 hours with the OLED MacBook Pro, Matt Talks Tech says nothing in its normal workflow made enabling Touch feel necessary, even though the video calls the display the machine's strongest improvement.
Familiarity wins here. Switching back to a mini-LED MacBook Pro felt much like using the same computer, in the video. The video praises the deeper blacks and lighter body. It expected a broader change to the working day. Matt Talks Tech advises keeping an existing Apple silicon MacBook Pro while performance still meets your needs.
The hardware distinction matters for iPhoners weighing that advice. Apple's specifications confirm tandem OLED and M5 Pro or M5 Max configurations; choosing the display doesn't by itself establish a speed advantage over another M5 machine. The video also wishes for cellular connectivity and a more ambitious cooling redesign, but offers no sustained-load test to establish a thermal limit.
I'd want one task that Touch materially improves before replacing a Mac that already finishes my work on time.
