Let's say rumors are true. The M6 or M7 MBP will have a new slimmer and lighter design, OLED 120Hz screen (maybe like Tandem OLED with high brightness), touchscreen, cellular option (+110$), Dynamic Island, new stronger hinge to avoid wabble, TouchID, 24GB RAM and 512GB storage on the base model for 1899$ or 1999$.

Will you buy it?

That’s the same specs as a current “real” MBP so unless you want a higher performance cpu that’s not a bad price if it gets all that on the poor-mans version.
 
Of course not because it is guaranteed to NOT cost they much! It'll be 2300 to 2400 starting I bet at least. They increase the iPad Pro price with the OLED screen.

I’ll pay $3,000 Tandem OLED will be a PREMIUM Product possible called the MacBook ULTRA and if has a TOUCHSCREEN it’s gonna be OVER $3,000.

It’s NOT For Everyone.

they're not going to put all these "upgrades" in the base model, that'll remain at the current price point.
as @TheRealAlex said, touchscreen OLED (if touchscreen ever happens) will be for a new model, with a Pro or Max chip, expect it to be $500 over the ones w/out touchscreen
 
Many people spend that much, and more, over the course of a year buying over priced coffee at Starbucks. Priorities. Those that want the machine will pay the price. When my M4 Pro gets to be about seven years old, I would pay that price for a new machine. I don't use Starbucks. Priorities.
 
I'm expecting the next MacBook Pro to be thinner than the current model but not dramatically so. In addition to tandem OLED, it's reasonable to expect Apple's custom networking chips for WiFi 7 & cellular. Beyond the M6 & touch capabilities, I expect the rumored silicon carbon battery technology. Even if it doesn't go there yet, I'm expecting the MacBook Pro redesign to be much easier to repair & replace parts like the battery or (gasp!) solid state storage media. The fact that Apple's relied on adhesive & pull-tabs is annoying.

Yes?
 
I already OWN a Tandem-OLED MacBook Pro it's called an iPad Pro M5 with a new Magic Keyboard.

Also you can get a Tandem-OLED touchscreen laptop today.

This is true. I can still use intel MBAs etc since I grew up with them. I don't mind. But other people really desire higher refresh/ different panel for a number of reasons: used to high-end tablet quality/display, eyesight issues, length of time they work on laptop each day.
I wouldn't pay for it, personally.
