From November 6, 2026, there will be three different MacBook Pros available: a new model with an OLED touchscreen, a new MacBook Pro 14 with the M6 chip, and the existing versions with the M5 Pro and M5 Max. They differ in price by several thousand zlotys, and a more expensive model does not always mean better for you.
Short answer: MacBook Pro 14 with M6 is sufficient for most people and costs from 10,499 PLN. Choose the MacBook Pro OLED for the screen, touch, and lower weight. If you need the power of M5 Pro without OLED, the mini-LED model offers the same chip 2000 PLN cheaper.
Below is a point-by-point comparison: prices in Poland, screen, performance, ports, battery, and accessories. You can find the premiere report in the text Apple Pro and Tell.

Prices in Poland: how much does OLED cost?
The most important discovery from the Apple configurator: OLED costs exactly 2000 PLN more than the mini-LED model with the same chip. This difference is the same in every configuration.
| Configuration | mini-LED | OLED | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14″, M5 Pro (15 CPU / 16 GPU), 24 GB, 1 TB | 12,999 PLN | 14,999 PLN | 2000 PLN |
| 14″, M5 Pro (18 / 20), 24 GB, 1 TB | 13,999 PLN | 15,999 PLN | 2000 PLN |
| 14″, M5 Max (18 / 32), 36 GB, 2 TB | 21,499 PLN | 23,499 PLN | 2000 PLN |
| 14″, M5 Max (18 / 40), 48 GB, 2 TB | 24,499 PLN | 26,499 PLN | 2000 PLN |
| 16″, M5 Pro (18 / 20), 24 GB, 1 TB | 15,999 PLN | 17,999 PLN | 2000 PLN |
| 16″, M5 Max (18 / 32), 36 GB, 2 TB | 22,999 PLN | 24,999 PLN | 2000 PLN |
| 16″, M5 Max (18 / 40), 48 GB, 2 TB | 25,999 PLN | 27,999 PLN | 2000 PLN |
The MacBook Pro 14 with M6 comes standard with 1 TB SSD, and 2 TB is an additional charge of 2500 PLN. It costs 10,499 PLN with 16 GB RAM, 11,499 PLN with 24 GB, and 12,499 PLN with 32 GB. Nanostructured glass is an additional charge of 750 PLN for each model.
Note: in Poland, no MacBook Pro comes with a power adapter in the box. Only a USB-C to MagSafe 3 cable is included. The Apple power adapter costs an additional 319 PLN for 70 W to 499 PLN for 140 W.
Screen: OLED or mini-LED?
On the left, OLED (PROLED XDR), on the right, mini-LED (Liquid Retina XDR). Photos: Apple.
Brightness, Blackness, and Reflections
The PROLED XDR display is a tandem OLED. Each pixel lights up independently, so black is absolute, and the contrast reaches 10,000,000:1. Brightness is 1000 nits sustained and up to 2000 nits peak in HDR. It achieves the same in SDR content outdoors.
The mini-LED display in M6 and M5 Pro models has 1000 nits sustained and up to 1600 nits in HDR. It’s still very good, but with bright text on a black background, it may show a slight halo. Both displays have a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz.
OLED also received a new anti-reflective coating. According to Fstoppers, it effectively suppressed reflections during the demonstration. However, the real test in sunlight will come after the premiere.
Touch and Dynamic Island in Practice
The OLED model is the first Mac with a touchscreen. You scroll and zoom with your fingers, and macOS adjusts the interface elements for touch use. The keyboard and trackpad remain unchanged. Apple Pencil is not supported.
First impressions from the demonstrations on October 28 are similar. The touch works without delays and is useful for maps, photos, or timelines in Final Cut. According to The Wall Street Journal, however, it can tire the hand during prolonged use. So treat touch as a supplement to the trackpad.

Dynamic Island replaces the camera notch. It shows the music being played, Spotlight, Siri, and Live Activities. How the screen handles fingerprints and how it holds up battery life during daily use will only be tested after November 6.
Performance: M6 or M5 Pro and M5 Max?
This is the least obvious part of the comparison. M6 is newer, but not always faster. It wins in single-threaded tasks, but loses where the number of cores and graphics matter.
| Chip | Single-core | Multi-core | Graphics (Metal) |
|---|---|---|---|
| M6 (12 CPU / 12 GPU) | 4003 | 21 878 | 89 345 |
| M5 Pro (15 / 16) | 3681 | 29 544 | 125 070 |
| M5 Pro (18 / 20) | 3679 | 33 506 | 135 920 |
| M5 Max (18 / 40) | 3693 | 34 580 | 240 235 |
Average results from Geekbench 7 from October 30, 2026. The M6 score comes from the Mac mini, as the MacBook Pro with M6 is not yet available for sale.
What this means in practice:
- M6 is 8–9% faster in single-threaded tasks than M5 Pro and M5 Max. The browser, office suite, Xcode, or Lightroom work fastest on it with single images.
- M5 Pro is 35–53% faster in multi-threaded tasks. You will feel the difference when exporting video, compiling large projects, and rendering.
- M5 Max has nearly 2.7 times stronger graphics than M6. This chip is for 3D, 8K video, and local AI models.
M6 also has a limit of 32 GB RAM and memory bandwidth of up to 170 GB/s. M5 Pro has 307 GB/s, and M5 Max up to 614 GB/s. If you run large AI models or many virtual machines, M6 will be too tight.
Ports, Monitors, and Charging
On the left, the ports of the OLED model, on the right, the model with M6. Photos: Apple.
The layout of the ports is the same, but the MacBook Pro with M6 has Thunderbolt 4 (40 Gb/s) instead of Thunderbolt 5 (120 Gb/s). You will notice the difference with the fastest external drives and docking stations.
M6 supports up to 2 external monitors. M5 Pro can handle three, and M5 Max can handle four. If you work at a desk with three screens, M6 is not an option.
For charging the MacBook Pro 14 with M6, Apple recommends a power adapter of at least 60 W. The 14-inch models with M5 Pro and M5 Max require at least 70 W. Fast charging to 50% in about 30 minutes requires 96 W for the 14-inch models and 140 W for the 16-inch models.
Weight, Dimensions, and Battery
MacBook Pro OLED is thinner and lighter than the mini-LED models. Photos: Apple.
The OLED model is noticeably lighter. The 14-inch version weighs 1.38 kg instead of 1.55 kg in the M6 and 1.60 kg in the mini-LED model with M5 Pro. The 16-inch version weighs 1.82 kg instead of 2.14 kg.
| MacBook Pro OLED 14″ | MacBook Pro 14″ with M6 and mini-LED | |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensions | 310.8 × 216.3 × 15.0 mm | 312.6 × 221.2 × 15.5 mm |
| Battery | 72.6 Wh | 72.4 Wh |
| Video | up to 22 hrs (M5 Pro) | up to 24 hrs (M6) |
Among the 14-inch models, the longest-lasting according to Apple is the MacBook Pro 14 with M6: up to 24 hours of video playback and up to 16 hours of internet browsing. The 14-inch OLED model with M5 Pro achieves up to 22 hours, and with M5 Max up to 20 hours.
14 or 16 inches?
The MacBook Pro with M6 is only available in the 14-inch version. If you want 16 inches, you choose between the mini-LED model and OLED, always with M5 Pro or M5 Max.
14 inches is a better choice if you often carry your laptop. 16 inches provides a larger screen for editing and working with two windows, as well as the longest battery life among models with M5 Pro: up to 24 hours of video.
Accessories: what fits which MacBook Pro?
This is important when choosing: the OLED model has a new, smaller casing. Accessories fit differently.
| Accessory | MacBook Pro 14 with M6 and mini-LED | MacBook Pro OLED |
|---|---|---|
| USB-C Charger | ✅ | ✅ |
| USB-C Cable | ✅ | ✅ |
| USB-C Hub | ✅ | ✅ |
| Sleeve | ✅ | ✅ (looser) |
| Case Cover | ✅ (models 2021–2026) | ❌ |
| Screen Glass or Film | ✅ (models 2021–2026) | ❌ |
The MacBook Pro 14 with M6 has the same dimensions as the MacBook Pro 14 from 2021. Covers and glasses fit them. For the OLED model, new accessories will need to be awaited.
Chargers for MacBook Pro
Since the power adapter is not included in the box, you need to purchase a charger. For 14 inches, 100 W is sufficient, while for 16 inches, 140 W is best. A charger with multiple ports will also charge your phone and headphones.
