"It’s part of our thinking about where to take the notebook next. Others are trying to turn the notebook into the tablet. The new MacBook Pro is a product that celebrates that it is a notebook, this shape that has been with us for the last 25 years is probably going to be with us for another 25 years because there’s something eternal about the basic notebook form factor." This is interesting. I would hope that sometime before 25yrs from now we have reliable enough voice recognition to get rid of the physical keyboard, good enough VR/AR to make a 3D UI (along with a popup VR keyboard for the occasional word that needs to be manually typed out or for when working in libraries). House it all in a pair of AR glasses attached to a battery/CPU/RAM/SDD in a backpack (replacing the laptop in the backpack of today). Seems something like that should be the holy grail of personal computing, achievable within 10-20yrs, and really Apple's wheelhouse more than any other.
