Todd Dailey(@twid):Hot take: new MacBook Pro with XDR looks good! I expected much worse on pricing. Much better display for +$400 not bad when you’re already in for $7,800! I personally don’t care about touch and I think it’s a dumb feature. But the display specs beyond touch are worth $400. Also the normal m5 laptop prices are untouched, so that’s good! I’d get the 4TB storage, 128GB memory with nano-texture if you’re an AI pro.
