Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave with this product release And his same take still holds to this day the basic laptop form factor doesn’t make sense to be touchscreen

Glad you were honest here and admitted that the touchscreen was basically "who cares"

And the new touch screen #MacBook Pro, fully specced up, can cost up to $14,549. Or, the same money can get you 12 iPad Pros at $1,199 each.

Fingerprints on a $3K screen. I need a monthly subscription for the polish cloth!

The only way it works is if the screen detaches from the keyboard, but that, of course, would fuck up thermals, specs, and a variety of other issues. Disappointed with the announcement.

He wasn't wrong then and isn't wrong now. And personally, I don't even use the touchscreen on my laptop. It doesn't feel right and feels better to use the trackpad.

The kids raised from birth on iPads are starting to get their own laptops.

Jobs is right, touchscreen on laptops is overkill

I’ve had touchscreen laptops, and I’ve always found that they go unused after the honeymoon phase.

I don't know why y'all are hating so much on the touch screen on the new MacBook. It's an input “option” for God’s sake; it's not like you’re forced to use it. There might happen to be people who like it—making this MacBook one that accommodates a vast range of user requirements.

Steve Jobs is probably rolling in his grave right now Decades later, his argument still holds up. Touchscreens just don't belong on a traditional laptop

If only Steve had listened to his doctors immediately. Apple would be a completely different company now days

Even before watching the video, I agree with everything about touching on a laptop. It just doesn’t work.

I'm curious if touch actually helps with editing, like scrubbing a timeline or nudging clips around. Did you try it in Final Cut, or was it mostly browsing and demos?

My wrist hurts even looking at that picture, but I kind of wanna try it.

I don’t know why everyone is referring to that Steve Jobs video. It was a different era! Get over it!

He was right then, he's right today. Why do they sell keyboards for iPads? It's because vertical touchscreen is just not ergonomic

I do have this playing in my head, same as Steve saying, "We're going to use the best pointing device in the world. We're going to use a pointing device that we're all born with—born with ten of them. We're going to use our fingers."

Fun thing about sheeps is they argue how a thing is totally unnecessary and how things shouldn't be used until apple gives them that one feature and suddenly they are the innovaters and rest of the world has to catch up 😆

They have lost their innovative edge. Sad…

Apple should make a MacBook with a detachable screen that works wirelessly within 50 ft of the base. Just maybe 2 hours of battery, Apple Pencil + touch support, and near-zero latency. No standalone computing needed. Super useful but without cannibalizing iPad sales too much.

Steve is right. I love the way he thinks. If he were still alive, we wouldn’t have to see the $999 stand or the $700 wheels.

A touchscreen Mac is interesting to me. I live on an iPad and a phone, no computer, so touch first is how I work. Curious whether macOS gets rebuilt for fingers or just tolerates them.

i've had a day to digest after all the excitement and i gotta say, i'm leaning more towards NO FINGERPRINTS on my display! most of the things i can do on the touchscreen, i can do it on the trackpad and shortcuts

I’m not quite sure what the backlash is about? It’s not like you have to ever use the touchscreen (I personally wouldn’t 99% of the time). I’m more interested in seeing the tandem oled screen for watching content

Pretty funny that after 15 years of saying no to touchscreen laptops, Apple might finally be changing its mind. And to be fair, I always understood their reasoning. But think about how much our habits have changed since then. We're so used to touching our phones and tablets that consumer adoption may be more receptive. I think that's what makes this interesting. Good design should follow how people actually use technology, even if that means changing your mind along the way.

Who remembers MacBook Pros with a Touch Bar?

years of engineering just to get switched off in settings

I'm a bit disappointed, but I still needed a MacBook, so I guess I'll find out how much I use that feature in a few weeks 😭

I’m curious: does touch actually make macOS easier to use, or does it just give you another way to do what the trackpad already handles well?
