Apple launches new MacBook Pro with touchscreen and OLED — starts at $2,899
The computer is also lighter and has an updated speaker system.
What the coverage shows
All five outlets center on Apple’s new MacBook Pro and its touchscreen debut, with CNBC and the New York Times explicitly framing it as a reversal of Apple’s long-held stance. Tom’s Hardware is the only one in the set to foreground pricing and hardware tweaks, while Ars Technica focuses on hands-on impressions and says it is not as different as expected. 9to5Mac mostly expands the event into follow-up coverage, including promo video, comparisons, developer materials, and commentary.
