The revamped configuration tool now boasts an unprecedented level of flexibility, giving buyers the power to pick and choose each aspect of their new Mac, from display and chip to memory, storage, and even power adapter. For those looking for a more bespoke experience, the updated page also enables customers to add pre-installed apps, such as Final Cut Pro or Logic Pro, to their purchase.

The updated design suggests that Apple is gearing up for the release of upgraded MacBook Pros, which are rumored to feature more flexible chip options, allowing users to select how many CPU and GPU cores they want.
Industry insiders point to the imminent release of these upgraded MacBook Pros alongside macOS 26.3, which has a scheduled release window between February and March. As one report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman notes, this could signal a significant upgrade in terms of performance and capabilities for Apple's high-end laptops. With Apple's online store now offering an unparalleled level of customization, users can look forward to being able to tailor their Mac experience like never before.
