    My wife had a Samsung laptop with a touch screen like 10 years ago. Big woop.

      Apple typically do not do completely new ideas - they are however pretty proficient at refining existing ideas, and charging an arguably unwarranted premium for it.

        Wait, are you the dude who keeps buying Facebook ads hoping that Tim Apple will let you jerk him off under the table?

        If he was interested he would have responded to your letter writing campaign.

        That’s beside the point. The point is that it took Apple that fucking long to implement it, and Apple users will start acting as if it’s something new, even though it’s absolutely not.

          Honestly, most Apple users I know are well aware of touch screen laptops, and don’t want one 😅

            Me I’m one of them. That’s what an iPad is for if you want that honestly. I despise shy modicum of cruft on my laptop screens

          Eh. It‘s more like Apple pretends it‘s new after they pretended to be better than the rest. Just to fold years later anyway. Always amusing to see them lagging behind silly trends and I doubt Apple users care. Especially when it’s something so unnecessary.

      My Dell Inspiron with an 8th gen core i7 has a touch screen.

      Microsoft Surface laptops had it too…
