Background
Announced in March 2026, this version of the 16-inch MacBook Pro has been updated from the 2024 model with the next generation of higher-end Apple silicon: the M5 Pro and M5 Max. The base storage has been increased to 1 TB (up from 512 GB), but the base RAM remains the same (24 GB).
The 16" MacBook Pro shares many of the same features introduced in 2021's MacBook Pros, including ProMotion HDR mini-LED displays, 1080p webcams with a display notch, full-size function keys, and the distinctive blacked-out keyboard.
Starting at a $2699, the 2026 16" MacBook Pro is available in either Silver or Space Black.
Identification
Identify your MacBook Pro by the model number printed on its back cover.
You can also find the model number through macOS by choosing About This Mac from the Apple menu in the upper-left corner of the screen.
Additionally, Apple offers a quick online tool to help identify your devices: Identify your MacBook Pro model.
The 2026 MacBook Pro features a large flat glass screen, thin black bezels, a "notch" cutout at the top of the screen, black keys, and an aluminum enclosure. There's a large gloss black Apple logo on the top shell and "MacBook Pro" engraved into the bottom case.
A MagSafe 3 charging port, two USB-C ports, and a headphone jack can be found on the left edge, with an additional USB-C port, HDMI port, and an SD card slot on the right.
