You'll pay for the most expensive touchscreen MacBook as much as for a new car. Czech prices will drop your jaw

After years of speculation, Apple finally gave the MacBook Pro an OLED display, touch control, and the Dynamic Island from the iPhone. The new product bears the unwieldy name MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR display and a price tag that starts at 84,990 CZK in the Czech Republic and goes up to 434,490 CZK in full configuration.

From 85 to 435 thousand crowns

The basic fourteen-inch model with an M5 Pro chip, 24 GB of memory, and 1TB of storage costs 84,990 CZK, while the sixteen-inch version with the same memory and storage costs 99,990 CZK. With an M5 Max chip, 36 GB of memory, and 2TB of storage, prices start at 131,990 CZK and 141,990 CZK, respectively. Students and educators save 4,000 to 9,000 CZK.

The highest amount is achieved by combining an M5 Max chip with an 18-core processor and 40-core graphics, 128 GB unified memory, 16TB SSD, and a display nanotexture for 4,500 CZK. The fourteen-inch version with the same configuration costs 424,490 CZK. For perspective: for one such sixteen-inch model, you could buy seven basic MacBook Pros with an M6 chip, which Apple introduced a day earlier for 57,990 CZK, and still have over 28 thousand left over.

Buy the charger separately

Anyone expecting to get at least an adapter in the box for over 430 thousand will be mistaken. In the Czech Republic, the new MacBook Pro is sold without a power adapter. A 70W adapter costs 1,790 CZK, a 96W one 2,290 CZK, and a 140W one, which makes sense mainly for the sixteen-inch model, costs 2,890 CZK. The maximum configuration thus realistically reaches 437,380 CZK. Apple, by the way, measured the promised 50% charge in 30 minutes using a 96W adapter for the fourteen-inch model and a 140W adapter for the sixteen-inch model.

What you get for that money

The main highlight is the tandem OLED with two layers of self-emitting pixels. Apple states a peak brightness of 2,000 nits in both HDR and SDR, a contrast ratio of 10,000,000:1, and a variable refresh rate of 10 to 120 Hz. The previous mini-LED display managed 1,600 nits in HDR and 1,000 nits in SDR. In addition to the P3 color space, it now also covers Adobe RGB, which photographers and graphic designers will appreciate. The touch sensor is built directly into the panel, and the notch has been replaced by the Dynamic Island.

The body has slimmed down: the 14″ model weighs 1.38 kg, which is 220 g less, and the 16″ model weighs 1.82 kg, 320 g less. The sixteen-inch model has a 16.3″ diagonal thanks to narrower bezels. Inside, however, remain the March M5 Pro and M5 Max chips with up to 128 GB of memory. Apple states a battery life of up to 24 hours, and the ports have not changed: three Thunderbolt 5, HDMI, an SDXC card reader, MagSafe, and a headphone jack.

It won’t speak Czech yet

The notebook runs on macOS 27 with Siri AI and Apple Intelligence features. However, neither supports Czech yet: Apple Intelligence only works in selected languages, and Siri AI is in beta and starts in English. So you’ll enjoy OLED and touch right away, but the smart overlay only after switching the system to a supported language.

Mini-LED is not ending yet

Pre-orders have been running since October 28, and the new MacBook Pro will appear in stores on Friday, November 6. Mini-LED models remain available, so OLED is more of an expensive add-on for those who need a precise display in the field, rather than a mandatory upgrade for everyone who works with a Mac.

Is OLED and touch worth the extra cost for you, or will you stick with mini-LED?
