Apple's New MacBook Pro Tops Out At $15K – Here's What That Gets You
Memory and storage make up $9,000 of the $14,549 price.

Apple announced the redesigned MacBook Pro, which has an OLED touchscreen, on October 28 with a release shortly after. And if you want a fully loaded 16-inch MacBook Pro with the new PROLED XDR Display, you'd better be prepared to fork out almost $15,000 for it.
It's listed at $14,549 on Apple's online store, but very little of that money is paying for the new touchscreen. Instead, a massive 16TB SSD accounts for $7,000 of the total and moving from 48GB to 128GB of unified memory adds another $2,000, so storage and memory make up roughly 62 percent of the price.
Configured to match the top spec of the non-touch 16-inch MacBook Pro (which remains for sale), the OLED model costs $10,549 — just $400 more than that model's $10,149 price tag.
