Apple is expected to launch its first touchscreen MacBook this week, reversing a decades-long stance against touch on laptops, according to 9to5Mac.

The site expects three tiers: a base 14-inch model with the current design and an M6 chip, the existing M5 Pro and M5 Max models unchanged in the middle, and new redesigned OLED touchscreen models with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips at the top.

It estimates the M6 14-inch will keep the current $1,999 price with 1TB of storage and 16GB of memory, while the touchscreen models will carry a premium.
