I see it as a stepping stone to the touch bar becoming the keyboard. You then have a laptop with no moving parts at all (except the lid hinge I guess). Obviou

Obviously yeah, you want tactile feedback and etc etc etc to make it real (don't know if the Taptic gizmo is the right path), but you're one bit closer to the goal with this.
- oolongCat 10y agoGood god that sounds like a nightmare. Its already a pain to use touch-pads on some laptop models where if you rest your wrist on it it will detect it wrong. And to make matters even worse imagine installing drivers for an os not supported by the manufacturer.

- rietta 10y agoThat is a nightmare. I already have a hard enough time typing on the MacBook Pro's keyboard. I use an external mechanical most of the time except when I am away from my desk. I just about get all my real work done at my desk though.
- joezydeco 10y agoYeah I'm not saying it's a good thing, but considering how Apple keeps trying to make the keyboard thinner and thinner this seems like the logical conclusion.
