Apple is expected to launch a new top‑tier laptop called the MacBook Ultra 2026, likely arriving either late next year or in early 2027, with reports pointing to a thinner OLED design, a touchscreen display and next‑generation M6 chips. The device, which would sit above the current MacBook Pro line rather than replace it, is being positioned inside Apple as its flagship notebook, according to multiple industry analysts.
Apple was preparing a radical overhaul of the MacBook Pro. Instead of a routine processor bump, well‑connected reporters Mark Gurman and Ming‑Chi Kuo now say the company is readying an entirely new class of machine, extending the 'Ultra' branding already seen on Apple Watch Ultra and its high‑end silicon. Nothing is confirmed yet, so everything should be taken with a grain of salt, but the emerging picture is of Apple trying to stretch the Mac range in both directions: an inexpensive MacBook Neo around $599 at one end, and this costly MacBook Ultra at the other.
