The glowing Apple logo gets Fernando's attention before the touchscreen does. In "NEW MacBook Pro 2026 — Everything You NEED to Know!", 9to5Mac's host starts with that familiar returning detail, then works through a rather less familiar Mac: tandem OLED, touch controls and a Dynamic Island replacing the notch.

That breakdown drew about 236,000 views, the biggest audience among the channel's eleven uploads this week. Fernando compares the thinner, lighter models, explores the configurations in Apple's store and says the channel has ordered one to find out what touch feels like in practice. In the comments, viewers are already doing the ergonomic homework: how comfortably can you use a touchscreen with this hinge and screen angle, and what does it add when the trackpad is already so good? Others return to the glowing logo, including a viewer joking that their older MacBook suddenly looks modern again.

The follow-ups get more particular. A specification deep dive examines charging limitations and professional display features, while a comparison asks what the extra money buys when the chip options remain the same. The channel's busiest video right now takes the next logical step: explaining macOS 27's larger buttons, touch-friendly menus and gestures. The OLED iPad mini breakdown is also drawing fresh viewing, with its missing ProMotion and retained Touch ID tempering the appeal.

Across the week, 9to5Mac added roughly 1.5 million views and gained subscribers, although daily viewing is currently well below its usual level. Among nearby gadget channels, Karl Conrad and Retro Game Corps had larger weekly view gains. For 9to5Mac, the most active conversation has moved beyond the Mac's new display to the everyday business of actually touching it.

I’m all in for the OLED screen alone. Now I just need the next Apple monitor to be OLED to complete the entire OLED lineup😂
