Apple launches its new touchscreen MacBook Pro

After years of resisting, Apple today launched a MacBook Pro with a touchscreen starting at $2,899. The release comes nearly 10 years after the company first tried integrating touchscreens on its laptops, with its Touch Bar on a MacBook Pro, which it later went on to remove.

在经历了多年的抵制后，苹果公司今日发布了一款起售价为 2899 美元的触控屏 MacBook Pro。此次发布距离该公司首次尝试在其笔记本电脑上集成触控技术已过去近 10 年，当时苹果在 MacBook Pro 上推出了触控栏（Touch Bar），但后来又将其取消。

The new MacBook Pro more fully embraces the touchscreen, offering a new PROLED XDR Display in both 14-inch and 16-inch screen sizes. The device is powered by M5 Pro and M5 Max chips as options to choose from, along with up to 128GB of unified memory and up to 16TB of storage.

新款 MacBook Pro 更全面地拥抱了触控屏技术，提供 14 英寸和 16 英寸两种尺寸的全新 PROLED XDR 显示屏。该设备搭载 M5 Pro 和 M5 Max 芯片供用户选择，并配备最高 128GB 的统一内存和最高 16TB 的存储空间。

The display has 2,000 nits peak HDR and SDR brightness and a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio. To make the new MacBook easy to use, Apple designed a hinge that stabilizes the screen when users touch it. This also helps to stabilize the camera when you are on a video call and trying to access content on the display.

该显示屏拥有 2000 尼特的峰值 HDR 和 SDR 亮度，以及 10,000,000:1 的对比度。为了让新款 MacBook 更易于使用，苹果设计了一种铰链，可以在用户触摸屏幕时保持屏幕稳定。这也有助于在进行视频通话并尝试访问屏幕内容时稳定摄像头。

In addition, the screen will include a Dynamic Island-style cutout instead of the notch that’s present on most of the current MacBooks. Plus, the new MacBook features a six-speaker array with a new woofer design for better sound.

此外，屏幕将采用“灵动岛”风格的挖孔设计，取代目前大多数 MacBook 上使用的刘海屏。同时，新款 MacBook 配备了六扬声器阵列，并采用了全新的低音单元设计，以提供更好的音质。

The 14-inch Pro weighs 3.0 pounds (1.38 kg), and the 16-inch Pro weighs 4.0 pounds (1.82 kg) — lighter than its non-touch predecessors. Both feature three Thunderbolt 5 ports, an HDMI port, an SDXC card slot, MagSafe, and a headphone jack.

14 英寸 Pro 重 3.0 磅（1.38 公斤），16 英寸 Pro 重 4.0 磅（1.82 公斤），比其非触控的前代产品更轻。两者均配备三个雷雳 5 端口、一个 HDMI 端口、一个 SDXC 卡槽、MagSafe 接口和耳机插孔。

Users can hook up three external displays on the M5 Pro variant and up to four displays on the M5 Max variant. The Touchscreen MacBook Pro 14-inch starts at $2,899, and the 16-inch version starts at $3,399.

用户可以在 M5 Pro 版本上连接三台外接显示器，在 M5 Max 版本上最多可连接四台显示器。14 英寸触控屏 MacBook Pro 起售价为 2899 美元，16 英寸版本起售价为 3399 美元。

Consumers can place a preorder for the new touchscreen MacBook Pro from October 30, and the device will be available starting November 6. The new Touchscreen MacBook marks two marquee product launches for new CEO John Ternus, who also introduced the company’s first foldable, the iPhone Duo, in September.

消费者可从 10 月 30 日起预订新款触控屏 MacBook Pro，该设备将于 11 月 6 日起正式发售。这款全新的触控屏 MacBook 是新任首席执行官 John Ternus 的两项重大产品发布之一，他此前还在 9 月份推出了该公司首款折叠屏手机 iPhone Duo。

Various Apple executives, including Steve Jobs and Tim Cook, have scoffed at the idea of a touchscreen Mac in the past. Jobs famously called the idea “ergonomically terrible” at one point. However, rumors of the company working on such a variant started circulating nearly three years before today’s introduction.

过去，包括史蒂夫·乔布斯（Steve Jobs）和蒂姆·库克（Tim Cook）在内的多位苹果高管曾对触控屏 Mac 的想法嗤之以鼻。乔布斯曾有一句名言，称这一想法“在人体工程学上非常糟糕”。然而，关于该公司正在研发此类产品的传闻在今天发布前近三年就开始流传了。

The launch follows yesterday’s unveiling of a new standard MacBook Pro with the M6 chip in 14-inch size starting from $1,999.

此次发布紧随昨天推出的新款标准版 MacBook Pro 之后，该产品搭载 M6 芯片，14 英寸版本起售价为 1999 美元。
