Vratislav Holub Laptops with a touch screen have long been nothing new. On the contrary, there are a number of interesting representatives on the market who faithfully combine the possibilities of a tablet and a laptop. While the competition is at least experimenting with touchscreens, Apple is much more restrained in this regard. On the other hand, the Cupertino giant himself admitted to similar experiments. Years ago, Steve Jobs, one of the founders of Apple, mentioned that they performed a number of different tests. Unfortunately, they all ended up with the same result - the touch screen on a laptop is generally not very pleasant to use.

The touch screen isn't everything. If we add it to the laptop, we will not exactly please the user twice, because it will still be not exactly twice as comfortable to use. In this regard, users agree on one thing – the touch surface is useful only in cases where it is a so-called 2-in-1 device, or when the display can be separated from the keyboard and used separately. But something similar is out of the question for MacBooks, at least for now.
Interested in touch screens
There is still a rather fundamental question whether there is even enough interest in laptops with a touch screen. Of course, there is no right answer to this question and it depends on each user and their preferences. In general, however, it can be said that although it is a nice function, it does not offer frequent use. On the contrary, it is more of an attractive addition to diversify the control of the system itself. Even here, however, the condition applies that it is significantly more pleasant when it is a 2-in-1 device. Whether we will ever see a MacBook with a touch screen is in the stars for now. But the truth is that we could easily do without this feature. However, what could be worth it would be support for the Apple Pencil. This could come in handy especially for graphic designers and various designers.

But if we look at Apple's product range, we can notice a much better candidate for a 2-in-1 touchscreen device. In a way, this role is already played by iPads, primarily the iPad Air and Pro, which are compatible with the relatively sophisticated Magic Keyboard. In this regard, however, we encounter a huge limitation on the part of the operating system. While competing devices rely on the traditional Windows system and can therefore be used for practically anything, in the case of iPads we have to settle for iPadOS, which is really just a bigger version of iOS. Practically, we only get a slightly larger phone in our hands, which, for example, we don't use much in the case of multitasking.
Will we see a change?
Apple fans have been pushing Apple for a long time to make fundamental changes to the iPadOS system and make it significantly better open for multitasking. The Cupertino company has already promoted the iPad more than once as a full-fledged replacement for the Mac. Unfortunately, it still has a long way to go and everything constantly revolves around the operating system. Would you welcome his certain revolution, or are you satisfied with the current state of affairs?

Well, of course, I would take a 12″ Macbook with an installed M2-3 and a 180-degree touch screen...!!!
