The MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR display was unveiled at the end of October. It features a tandem OLED screen that stacks two layers of organic light-emitting pixels, eliminating the need for a backlight, and adds touch capability to the MacBook line for the first time. Although the vendor was patted on the back in recent years for improving the repairability of its famously locked-down products, this machine shows Apple still has some way to go. The good? The entire lid comes off relatively easily. Its three-screw hinges closely resemble those on the M6 14-inch MacBook Pro, while streamlined display cable brackets simplify removal.
