a touchscreen mac might be the clearest sign that apple is abandoning everything it once stood for.
apple used to have a pretty simple philosophy: don't rush to be first, just make it better. and let each device do what it's actually designed to do.
a touchscreen mac goes against both.
it probably won't be as good as an ipad for touch, or as good as a traditional mac for productivity.
even tim cook once compared combining a tablet and laptop to merging a toaster with a refrigerator.
kind of ironic that apple might end up building the exact thing it spent years explaining why nobody needed. -

this is going to be like the macbook pro with the touch bar. an expensive gimmick that they’ll stop supporting after a few years. really wonder who wants to pay this amount of money for this?
what does macbook pro mean to you?
