@tuomas_h@mastodon.social @rhysmorgan@mastodon.social @stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social also: why would this be a good thing anyway? I don’t get the fascination with touchscreen laptops. We have a mouse pointer and trackpad which means I don’t have to move my arms to select things and interact. Reaching out is inaccurate and tiring and smudges the screen.
There are ways to do direct + indirect control well (we did that with Solu). Apple just never figured it out (Touch Bar as example).

@Setok@attractive.space @tuomas_h@mastodon.social @stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social I’m not saying it would especially be a good thing, but I think Apple would be fairly likely to do it as a convertible device anyway. I can’t pretend that I don’t occasionally reach out to touch my iPad screen when in the Magic Keyboard 😅
