theverge Steve Jobs famously said in 2010 that touchscreen laptops do not work He's right, i've never seen anyone using the touch screen on their laptop. Makes no sense. Reply
Penzi I’m all for choice: if people want to add it, cool. But I wouldn’t buy one that forces it on you. Pay extra for another failure point with accidental activations to frustrate me? Great… my return to the desktop fold accelerates. Reply
CenozoicSynapsid They should've put mac OS on an iPad instead of this, people would actually want iPads then. Reply
Notton theverge said: He's right, i've never seen anyone using the touch screen on their laptop. Makes no sense. When I have a touchscreen laptop, I use it all the time. but then again my laptop is always a 2-in-1 or a handheld PC. IDK how much sense it'll make on a 16" laptop, but on <14" screen, it's just a big tablet propped up on a stand. You can also already experience what it's like with an iPad Pro 13 with the optional keyboard cover. Penzi said: I’m all for choice: if people want to add it, cool. But I wouldn’t buy one that forces it on you. Pay extra for another failure point with accidental activations to frustrate me? Great… my return to the desktop fold accelerates. I've had a touch screen laptop since back when Microsoft released the OG Surface Pro. I've never had the touchscreen on a laptop fail. Though, I've also never dropped or squished my laptop enough to damage the screen. What would happen most frequently was a Microsoft update would wipe the gyro sensor driver and disable auto-rotation as well as locking the screen in a certain orientation. The second most frequent thing was a Microsoft update would overwrite the Wi-Fi driver and bork Wi-Fi/BT capabilities. Reply
kaalus It looks like Apple is going to shoot themselves in the foot just as they did with touch bar in 2016. Who wants a dynamic island on a laptop? So that even more screen space is wasted than with the current ugly notch? Reply
Gururu Its a strange thing. My kid uses an ipad a lot but on the school chromebook with touch, never touches the screen. Reply
call101010 I use the touch screen mostly for scrolling and zooming in when needed on my laptop. However , I think that the new Macbooks with touch screen might be convertible. Reply
