LOS ANGELES—For about five minutes on an extremely crowded showroom floor, I got to take pictures of the new MacBook Pro and test out some of its new features. First impressions: It’s not as much of a departure from the previous design as I expected, but the outstanding OLED display steals the show regardless.

洛杉矶——在极其拥挤的展厅里，我有大约五分钟的时间拍摄了新款 MacBook Pro 并测试了它的一些新功能。初步印象是：它与之前设计的差异并没有我预期的那么大，但出色的 OLED 显示屏无论如何都抢尽了风头。

The first thing I noticed was that it’s lighter. My daily driver is a 14-inch MacBook Pro (M1 Max), and it’s a bit weighty for a 14-incher. Picking up the new model, I could immediately tell it was lighter. It’s not like it’s in a different general weight class, but it’s a noticeable difference.

我注意到的第一件事是它更轻了。我日常使用的是 14 英寸 MacBook Pro (M1 Max)，对于 14 英寸的机型来说，它稍微有点重。拿起新款机型时，我立刻就能感觉到它更轻了。虽然它并没有进入完全不同的重量级别，但这种差异是显而易见的。

The next thing I noticed was the Dynamic Island. Given the larger screen real estate of a laptop, it’s much less dominant on the screen than it is on an iPhone. I do worry about what will happen with fullscreen games, which I wasn’t able to test today. The notch MacBook Pro has an option to maximize apps or games to just below the notch, so it doesn’t cut into the image. I’m curious to test in the full review whether that remains the case with this little cutout.

接下来我注意到的是“灵动岛”（Dynamic Island）。考虑到笔记本电脑更大的屏幕空间，它在屏幕上的存在感比在 iPhone 上要弱得多。我确实担心全屏游戏会受到什么影响，今天我没能测试这一点。带刘海屏的 MacBook Pro 有一个选项，可以将应用程序或游戏最大化到刘海下方，这样就不会遮挡图像。我很想在完整评测中测试一下，这种处理方式在这一小块挖孔区域是否依然适用。

And lastly, the Apple logo on the back glows again! Some find this tacky, some find it essential. I just think it’s a little bit nostalgic.

最后，背面的苹果标志又会发光了！有些人觉得这很俗气，有些人则认为这必不可少。我只是觉得它带有一点怀旧感。

Of course, you might make the case that the most notable thing about this laptop is not its weight or the Dynamic Island. For years, people have debated whether Apple should introduce a touchscreen laptop. Steve Jobs was famously against it. A few years ago—there were reports that under Tim Cook and now John Ternus—Apple decided to move ahead with the idea. I played with it a bit, and it works just about exactly as you expect for a laptop touchscreen.

当然，你可能会认为这款笔记本电脑最引人注目的地方既不是它的重量，也不是灵动岛。多年来，人们一直在争论苹果是否应该推出触控屏笔记本电脑。史蒂夫·乔布斯曾明确反对。几年前有报道称，在蒂姆·库克和现在的约翰·特努斯的领导下，苹果决定推进这一想法。我试用了一下，它的工作方式和你对笔记本电脑触控屏的预期几乎完全一致。

A few of the things I did with the touchscreen during my brief time with the laptop: Swiped between desktop spaces with three fingers on the screen; Pinched, zoomed, and scrolled on both images and the Maps app; Dragged windows around and resized them—including a quick flicking gesture that attaches a window to the left or right side of the screen; Dragged files between applications; Launched and closed applications; Drew with my finger in a painting and illustration app; Sketched in colors on a 3D model; Scrubbed through video playback.

在短暂的试用期间，我用触控屏做了一些事情：用三根手指在屏幕上滑动切换桌面空间；在图片和地图应用中进行捏合、缩放和滚动；拖动窗口并调整大小——包括一个可以将窗口吸附到屏幕左侧或右侧的快速轻弹手势；在应用程序之间拖拽文件；启动和关闭应用程序；在绘画和插图应用中用手指绘图；在 3D 模型上进行彩色素描；在视频播放中进行进度拖动。

All of that is nice to have, I guess, but there’s not much you can do with it that you couldn’t already do with trackpad gestures, at least at the OS level; some creative apps, like finger painting on the screen, seemed to offer a bit more. You can play a musical instrument like a keyboard on the screen with your fingers, but it’s a little awkward, since the laptop does not convert into a tablet mode.

我想，拥有这些功能固然不错，但至少在操作系统层面，你无法用它做太多触控板手势无法完成的事情；一些创意类应用，比如在屏幕上进行手指绘画，似乎能提供更多一点的体验。你可以用手指在屏幕上弹奏像键盘一样的乐器，但这有点别扭，因为这款笔记本电脑无法转换为平板模式。

When the credible reports emerged that the MacBook Pro would get a touchscreen, I imagined a convertible with Apple Pencil support—something you could use as a large iPad or drawing tablet, essentially. That’s not what this is; it only takes the usual laptop shape, and I was told it does not support the Apple Pencil. It’s just a MacBook Pro, in its normal form factor, but you can use your fingers on the screen to do things like drag files around, swipe between desktop spaces, or pinch-to-zoom on maps or images.

当关于 MacBook Pro 将配备触控屏的可靠报道出现时，我曾想象过一款支持 Apple Pencil 的二合一设备——本质上就是你可以将其当作大型 iPad 或绘图板来使用。但事实并非如此；它依然保持着普通的笔记本电脑形态，而且我被告知它不支持 Apple Pencil。它只是一台外观正常的 MacBook Pro，只不过你可以用手指在屏幕上进行拖拽文件、切换桌面空间或在地图和图片上进行捏合缩放等操作。

But while it’s not about the touchscreen capability for me, I was impressed by the OLED screen itself—and I’m quite the display snob, if I’m being honest. The peak brightness, absolute blacks, well-balanced color, and dynamic range were genuinely remarkable. It’s an enormous upgrade over the MiniLED screen in the previous MacBook Pro. It took far too long for OLED to come to the MacBook Pro, but unsurprisingly, Apple spared no expense and cut no immediately obvious corners on quality.

虽然对我来说触控功能并非重点，但我对 OLED 屏幕本身印象深刻——老实说，我是一个相当挑剔的显示效果发烧友。它的峰值亮度、纯粹的黑色、均衡的色彩和动态范围确实非常出色。与上一代 MacBook Pro 的 MiniLED 屏幕相比，这是一个巨大的升级。OLED 技术进入 MacBook Pro 的时间太久了，但不出所料，苹果在质量上不惜成本，也没有任何明显的偷工减料。

I was also happy to see that the cutout near the top of the screen that has replaced the camera notch is what Apple calls a Dynamic Island; it can resize to show live activities and other information on the fly. That’s one of my favorite features on the iPhone, as I’ve been impressed with Apple’s ability to turn something that should be an albatross into an appealing feature.

我也很高兴看到屏幕顶部取代了摄像头刘海的挖孔区域正是苹果所称的“灵动岛”；它可以实时调整大小以显示实时活动和其他信息。这是我最喜欢的 iPhone 功能之一，因为苹果能够将一个本应是累赘的设计转化为一个吸引人的功能，这让我印象深刻。

Based on my time with the device and today’s announcement, the screen seems to be the main draw (though it’s nice that it noticeably weighs less, too), but the price is the real barrier. A 16-inch model with an M5 Max, 64 GB of RAM, and 2 TB of storage is currently priced at $5,799.

根据我与该设备的接触以及今天的发布会来看，屏幕似乎是主要的卖点（尽管它重量明显减轻也很不错），但价格才是真正的门槛。一款配备 M5 Max、64GB 内存和 2TB 存储空间的 16 英寸机型目前售价为 5,799 美元。
