Webomatica: Thoughts On A Touch Screen Mac

  • DaFerret · 1 year ago
    I must admit, if Apple releases a tablet laptop thing, I'd jump on it in a heartbeat. I've always wanted to use that type of technology. I could see myself using it as my "super-portable" device on trips for email, browsing, crazy psycho stuff and other cool things I can't think of right now. Of course, if I had to do anything "big", I'd always have my MBP or my gaming PC.

    Yeah I guess I missed the implications of mutli touch on a laptop - it would be pretty slick to see Apple's take on the "meh" Tablet PC. But for similar reasons as above, I hope a future MacBook still keeps a traditional keyboard and have the touch screen "transform" to cover it, or have the track pad be a little touch screen - or a dock for an iPhone ... drool ...

    My friend bought a laptop 5 years ago that you could turn the screen around completely, refold and use with a pen like a proper notebook (and no it wasn't a mac). Already been done. Of course, with Apples new budget from ipod revenue they will try all sorts of stuff. The vast majority of which will just be old ideas with new iwrappings.

    It would be great for surfing the web... but not good for typing anything. Also how do you lie down with a tablet? It needs to be propped up somehow I would think.
