Apple has unveiled the new generation of MacBook Pro computers that come with a touch screen for the first time in the company's history, with a starting price of $2,899, in clear opposition to the views of the company's founder and former CEO, Steve Jobs , who rejected the idea of laptops that support touch screens.

This is not the first time Apple has tried to use touch screens in its computers. It tried this 10 years ago with a touch-enabled strip in the computer chassis above the keyboard, which made it different from other touch-screen computers. However, it eventually abandoned the idea and returned to traditional laptops
The unveiling of the new computer came during a small event held by the company and attended by a number of journalists and technical content creators, as well as the company's current CEO, John Ternos.
The company says it has addressed all the problems that made Steve Jobs reject the idea of touch screens in his company's laptops. It used a new approach in designing all parts of the computer to support the idea and make it easier to use than before. So what differences did these computers offer?
Innovative new screen
Apple has adopted a new, groundbreaking screen in its new computer called "Proled XDR" in a clear indication of its difference from traditional MacBook computer screens. It comes in two different sizes, one 14 inches and the other 16 inches.
The difference in this screen is not limited to its specifications, but extends to the hinge that secures the screen, as Apple has adopted a new hinge that secures the screen in place when using the touch feature.
Apple also used a special lighting engine in the new screen that is capable of controlling the screen's brightness and color accuracy to maintain the screen's professional level, as the screen responds to color changes even with high-precision touch, in addition to the screen's support for a refresh rate of up to 120Hz via the "Pro Motion" feature, according to a report by the American tech website "MacRumors".
Leading specifications
In terms of specifications, Apple used its latest hardware in this new computer, as it comes with the "M5 Pro" and "M5 Max" processors, storage capacities of up to 16 terabytes, and RAM capacity of up to 128 gigabytes.
