Best Buy has introduced a $100 gift card promotion for eligible preorders of the touch-enabled MacBook Pro featuring the PROLED XDR screen. The incentive applies to 14- and 16-inch sizes, including the 14-inch model configured with the M6 chip. The updated hardware sports a Tandem OLED display for enhanced brightness and contrast within a thinner, lighter chassis. To accommodate touch inputs, macOS automatically magnifies the colored window control buttons when a finger gets close to the screen.

While the new touch-enabled MacBook Pro with the PROLED XDR screen is available for preorder across a few major retailers, Best Buy is sweetening the deal by including a $100 gift card.

My colleague Antonio G. Di Benedetto got a chance to check out the new laptop at Apple’s event, and came away impressed by the Tandem OLED panel’s brightness and contrast, but described the update as “kind of boring” given the relatively small…
The rapid three-month development cycle marks an active hardware exploration by the social media giant alongside an overseas robotics specialist. While a second-generation machine is currently underway, the initiative remains strictly internal rather than a consumer product play. This approach allows the tech company to test experimental physical technologies without entering the commercial hardware market.
The social media giant is advancing its hardware ambitions by collaborating with an international partner on physical robotics development. Engineers have already completed an initial test model and are actively designing a follow-up machine. This move signals a potential expansion into physical automation, though independent observers have not yet verified the program's full objectives.
The social platform is rapidly rolling out local discovery utilities and digital banking features designed to capture daily consumer transactions within its ecosystem. By emulating the consolidated super app framework popularized in Asia, the company aims to retain audiences and directly challenge established utility providers. These moves reflect a long-term commercial transformation following recent ownership restructuring in the United States.
