By the time you have a giant 6" trackpad, then a touchscreen just absolutely makes more sense, but oh, yeah, right, Apple insists on being a decade+ behind the times on laptop hardware features while insisting they're better.
- tstrimple 4y agoIt does not. Touching the screen requires moving your hand even further away from the keyboard and requires getting your screen all smudged up. I abhor touch screen laptops. They make much more sense in convertible laptops with pen input.
- arcticbull 4y agoI actually disagree. It's all about ergonomics. Holding your hand/wrist up to the screen all day is unnatural and tiring - not to mention smudgey and annoying. The large trackpad being planar with the keyboard allows you to use without physical stress for extended periods of time. Their position is if you want to fing on something, fing on an iPad. If you want to type, point and gesture, get a MacBook. I'm very ok with that and personally satisfied that Apple didn't jump on that bandwagon.
