That was a very important step forward. Now, it is a pretend computer with mouse support.
- j45 2y agoHaha. That's true. Apple's resistance to a mouse continued with the resistance to having a mouse pointer. A Surface Pro running MacOS would be the real game changer. Being touch-first is much more inefficient than using a mouse and keyboard. The pageantry of taps and swipes needed add up to a lot of time, and knowing the difference, it can be difficult to justify the effort. Maybe I'm missing a detail. Apple is excellent at introducing technology to beginners (just use your finger), it doesn't mean it's the most productive or effective.
