I've never been convinced about a touchscreen macOS. The quality of the interface in Windows took a nosedive when they started trying to account for both finger-poking and precision cursor use. I would hate to see that happen to macOS. My preference is to let macOS/MacBooks stay keyboard/mouse, and let iPadOS/iPad be the touch device.
- uptown 7y agoYou may not be convinced, but the generation of younger kids expect every screen to be a touch screen. It's amusing to watch my kids (3 and 5) touch the screen expecting it to react the same way an iPad or iPhone responds.
- Miraste 7y agoAll the Windows laptops I use have touchscreens now, and MacBooks have started to feel old-fashioned. I have to stop myself from poking the screen.
- pier25 7y agoIt's really an implementation problem not a conceptual one. Windows didn't implement it properly. The last time I tried it something as trivial as changing the screen brightness in tablet mode required you to open the Windows setting if you wanted to be able to use a slider. The quick shortcut was tapping the system clock, then tapping on a setting that would cycle through 20% increments IIRC. Some apps like Bitwig Studio or even some Adobe apps IIRC change the UI depending on whether you are in tablet mode or mouse mode.
