   Apple's first touchscreen OLED MacBook may arrive this month

   Apple has reportedly invited media to an all-day product launch in Los Angeles on Oct. 28, where it is expected to unveil its first OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro, carrying existing M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, a noticeably lighter chassis, and possibly a Dynamic Island instead of a notch, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. ZDNET says the same event could include an M6-based 14-inch MacBook Pro, an OLED iPad mini and M6 iMacs, but IT之家, citing Gurman, reports that high-end M6 development has largely stopped and M6 will be limited to the Mac mini, iMac and entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro. Gurman says Apple has shifted focus to the M7 family, optimized for AI workloads, with standard M7 expected in 2027, M7 Pro and M7 Max reaching high-end touchscreen MacBook Pros in late 2027, and M7 Ultra planned for the first half of 2028.

   TechRadar reports that the Mac Studio with M5 Max (18-core CPU, 32-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine), 36GB of memory and 512GB of storage is down to $2,299 from $2,499 at B&H Photo, an 8% discount; the 1TB configuration is $2,579, down from $2,799. The article says Apple's 512GB M5 Ultra Mac Studio, aimed at running large AI models locally, is due to ship in late October and may appear at Apple's event next week, with the author speculating it could start well above $10,000. Citing a roundup of M5 Ultra reviews, it says the Ultra's real strength is local AI, while its multi-core lead over the M5 Max is only about 26% and single-core performance is roughly the same.
