But if you want the absolute top-of-the-line model with every possible upgrade, prepare to cough up around $14,549.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/10\/28\/new-macbook-pro-maxed-out-cost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">MacRumors<\/a> first reported, Apple\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/buy-mac\/macbook-pro-proled-xdr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">configurator<\/a> prices the fully loaded 14-inch model at $14,249 and the 16-inch version at $14,549. Both come equipped with Apple\u2019s top-tier M5 Max chip, featuring an 18-core CPU and 40-core GPU.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can blame the ongoing memory shortage and AI\u2019s seemingly endless appetite for hardware for some of the pricing pressure. Moving to a 4TB SSD costs an additional $1,000, while upgrading to 8TB adds $3,000. Want the new 16TB option? That\u2019ll set you back another $7,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another $2,000 gets you 128GB of memory, while nano-texture glass adds $150.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For some perspective, the previous 16-inch MacBook Pro topped out at $10,149. The new model raises that ceiling by a whopping $4,400.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Absurd prices aside, the launch marks a significant shift for Apple, nearly a decade after it first experimented with the Touch Bar. The company eventually <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2023\/10\/31\/touch-bar-discontinued\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">abandoned<\/a> that feature, but now it\u2019s ready to embrace a touchscreen MacBook Pro.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preorders open October 30, with availability beginning November 6.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
