WSJ review: the $400 ProLED XDR MacBook Pro upgrade is worth it
whurley · x · 2026-11-08
WSJ columnist Joanna Stern spent six days with the new 16-inch MacBook Pro with ProLED XDR display and calls it the ultimate laptop, arguing the $400 premium is worth it.
- The OLED screen is the upgrade reason: going back to her 14-inch MacBook Pro felt gross, reminiscent of the 2012 Retina leap
- Other wins: smaller notch housing, glowing Apple logo, touchscreen support
- Tech figures like whurley echo that it's Apple's best laptop yet
