Apple charges $14,549 for a fully specced touchscreen MacBook Pro

The new MacBook Pro models announced by Apple can be configured to cost up to $14,549 for the 16-inch model, with the 14-inch model costing up to $14,249. The high cost is due to premium hardware options such as an OLED display, touchscreen capabilities, M5 Max chip with 18-core CPU and 40-core GPU, nano-texture glass, 128GB of memory, and 16TB of storage. The 16TB storage option adds an extra $7,000 to the price, while upgrading to 8TB storage adds an extra $3,000. In comparison, the previous 16-inch MacBook Pro's maximum configuration cost $10,149, making the new model $4,400 more expensive. If the 16-inch model is configured with 8TB storage instead of 16TB, the price is $10,549, which is $400 more expensive than the previous model's maximum configuration.
