Findecanor I couldn't find any pixel dimensions or screen resolution anywhere. I've been wondering if they shared some production lines with iPad screens — but all iPad panels seem to be smaller. Reply
kealii123 Jobs was right, touch screens laptops are extra complication with little benefit Reply
justrudi I will agree with Steve Jobs, and to me the twist into Macs with touchscreen is another nail. Mac displays are notoriously good, but also difficult to keep clean and without oily spots for a long time. many users have issues with keyboard imprinting on the screen. And now, there will be fingers all over the screen. I have used laptops with touchscreen and only version that is actually useful if it is a sort of 2-in-1, that can be reshaped into a tablet aka Yoga from Lenovo. The rest of implementations are a gimmick with no useful scenarios for work, or even entertainment. You need 2 hands anyways to perform well with a laptop. Moving you hand from keyboard to a screen is exhausting, and I know, I am using iPad Pro with a keyboard case. But thank God I bought a keyboard with a trackpad. I will be happy to learn if there are actual usecases when touchscreen on a laptop is better than a trackpad, but use cases where somehow tablet is worse. Reply

Touch screen laptops are incredibly dumb and now there’s the temptation to alter the OS for touch. If you want a touch screen get an iPad Reply

If you want a touch screen get an iPad I did have a touch laptop at work and I never really used the touch screen. But I was using it for coding, probably touch screen would be more useful for video editing? Reply

Your finger is less precise than a trackpad and apples track pad quality means any use for a touch screen outside of games is effectively moot. Reply
