Whenever I get off of my iPad, I find myself trying to touch my Mac’s screen. I used to own a SurfaceBook and for the longest time I had muscle memory to just touch the screen.
I agree with Steve Jobs that your arm gets tired if you’re using it to just scroll webpages. But if you have the odd thing on the side on the screen that you can just hit with your thumb, touch screens are perfect.
Do I think this is where Apple should focus its time? Probably not. My iPad has a Magic Keyboard which I use all of the time. It’s perfect having a touchscreen. It’s small and has apps made specifically for touchscreen. Adding a touchscreen to the Mac feels like busy work for employees or the company doesn’t know what to spend money on. Which is unfortunate, because there are many things that Apple could be spending money on that are much more worth their time.
