The first thing Matt Talks Tech notices about the new MacBook Pro is its display. The channel's hands-on centers on Apple's ProLED XDR tandem OLED panel and touch support; Dynamic Island joins the top edge of a thinner, lighter enclosure.
Apple says the screen reaches 2,000 nits, runs at up to 120Hz, and uses a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio. Those are specs, not measurements from this short hands-on. The M5 Pro and M5 Max configurations and Apple's claim of up to 24 hours of battery life are likewise part of the launch context; the video doesn't provide a long-term battery test. The hardware shown on camera is enough to make the display the story without treating the battery figure as a verdict.
How often will touch help when the trackpad and keyboard remain close at hand? That's the question for iPhoners choosing a Mac. This first look shows the new interface and physical design, but a few minutes with a machine can't answer that. I'd wait for sustained use before calling touch a reason to upgrade.
