Apple introduced a redesigned MacBook Pro on October 29, marking the first time a Mac has offered screen touch input alongside a Dynamic Island-style interface. The new machine uses a PROLED XDR display built on dual-layer tandem OLED technology, available in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes with M5 Pro or M5 Max chips.

Touch is integrated directly into the display panel rather than added as a separate layer. The system translates touch input into clicks, allowing many existing macOS applications to support touch without major changes. Apple says users can scroll web pages, zoom photos, drag slides, manipulate 3D models and play virtual instruments by touching the screen. The hinge has also been adjusted to make the notebook steadier during touch use.

Orders open in China on October 30, with sales beginning November 6. The starting price is 22,999 yuan. At the high end, a 16.3-inch model with an M5 Max processor, 128GB of unified memory and 16TB of storage is listed on Apple's Chinese site at 112,600 yuan. Apple says battery life can reach 24 hours, and fast charging can take the battery to about 50 percent in roughly 30 minutes.

The same industry roundup notes that code associated with a possible DeepSeek V5 model has appeared, though no official launch has been confirmed. Separately, Unitree Technology released its first earnings report, showing a net profit increase of 270 percent and drawing attention to stronger commercial results in robotics.
