Apple has launched five new Mac computers – all of which will be of serious interest to video and photo editors.
The most exciting of these is undoubtedly the arrival of the much-anticipated Apple MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display – the first-ever Apple laptops with a touchscreen.
But there are also two new MacBooks and an iMac all-in-one desktop computer that use the new M6 chip, first used on the Mac Mini that was released earlier in the year.
Billing itself as “the world’s best pro laptop” the PROLED XDR Macbook uses tandem OLED technology to offer with up to 2000 nits peak HDR and SDR brightness, an industry-leading 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio. The new Touch facility is said to open up “a whole new dimension for pros to interact with their content, from manipulating 3D models to playing musical instruments onscreen”.

Two further MacBooks are being released with a non-touchscreen Liquid Retina XDR, the 14in version benefitting from the option of having newest generation of M6 processor. Prices will start at $1,999 / $1,999 for the 14in, whilst the 16in version (which will only be available with M5 Pro or M5 Max chips) will start at $2,999 / £2,999.
The newest version of the iMac will have an integrated 24in 4.5K Retina display and will be available in a choice of seven colors. The M6 chip claims to be up to 12x faster that the iMac M1 that was launched five years ago.
The iMac M6 will go on sale from November 6 from $1,499 / £1,499.
