A friend of mine has owned Windows laptops for years. She's constantly trying to do pinch-to-zoom on the screen of my MBP when I'm showing her something. She gets super frustrated at how backwards my computer is. I can see how that feature would be nice to have.
But yeah, an entirely touch-first laptop experience would be terrible. At the same time a no-touch laptop experience seems to be suboptimal these days. Philosophical design extremes usually aren't the best.

- mixmastamyk 3y agoI think being forced to buy a thing that degrades the experience in some way (battery/reflection) is worse than not allowing it for folks that might use it. Would be great if we all had options, but perhaps not economical.
