Did you know? The MacBook Pro M6 and the OLED touchscreen MacBook are now official in Malaysia. Here are the prices

Last week we wrote about the rumoured OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro. Now it's official, and Malaysian pricing is out too.

In short, Apple launched two kinds of MacBook Pro this week:

1. MacBook Pro 14 M6: the upgraded base model, from RM8,299
2. MacBook Pro PROLED XDR: the first Mac with an OLED touchscreen, from RM11,999

Both go on sale in Malaysia on Friday, 6 November 2026.

MacBook Pro 14 M6: Malaysian prices

According to Malay Mail:

Pre-orders have been open since 29 October.

What's new?

• A 2nm M6 chip with a 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU
• Up to 30% faster graphics and up to 25% faster AI workloads than the M5
• Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6
• Up to 24 hours of battery life
• Design, display and ports largely unchanged from the M5 model

MacBook Pro PROLED XDR: the first touchscreen Mac

This is the real star of Apple's event. According to SoyaCincau:

Pre-orders opened on 30 October, and official sales start on 6 November.

Did you know? Just as the rumours said, the OLED model doesn't use the M6 chip. It uses the M5 Pro and M5 Max. The M6 is only in the base MacBook Pro 14, the iMac and the Mac mini.

Why are people excited?

• The first touchscreen in Mac history, with the touch sensor built into the panel
• A Tandem OLED display up to 2,000 nits with 10,000,000:1 contrast
• A Dynamic Island like the iPhone's, for notifications, music and calls
• The glowing Apple logo on the back of the lid returns, after being dropped in 2016
• Lighter: the 14-inch model weighs about 1.36kg, roughly 240g lighter than the mini-LED model

There's an M6 iMac too

Apple also launched the 24-inch M6 iMac. According to Pocket News, it starts at RM6,499, the higher model is RM7,499, and education pricing starts at RM6,299. It also goes on sale on 6 November.

Is it worth it?

It depends on what you need:

• Students, writers, office work: the base MacBook Pro M6 (RM8,299) is more than enough. On a tighter budget, a MacBook Air is also an option.
• Video editors and graphic designers: the PROLED XDR is genuinely tempting, especially the 2,000-nit OLED, but prices start at RM11,999.
• Touchscreen fans: it's the first Mac you can touch, but macOS is still designed around a mouse and trackpad. Try it in store before you buy.

If you want to try one yourself, demo units are usually available at Apple The Exchange TRX and Apple authorised resellers from launch day, 6 November.

Which would you pick: the cheaper base M6, or the OLED touchscreen?
