Hand touching MacBook laptop screen with Apple logo.
The first hints of a touch-screen MacBook have already become a reality

The laptop market is gearing up for another significant update, as Apple is officially working on a premium MacBook with a touchscreen. The idea of combining a classic laptop form factor with a full touchscreen has long been discussed in the tech community, but the company traditionally avoided moving to this format. Now the situation is changing, and by early 2026, users may see the first MacBook that responds to touch. This is not just the addition of a new feature, but a rethinking of how to interact with macOS and Apple’s portable devices in general.
