Certainly interesting that we're only talking about it when Apple just announced it, after Windows laptops have done it for over a decade.

I had a touch screen laptop once. After the initial novelty of it, I never touched the screen again. And it was the convertible type that could open all the way round and turn into a tablet (keyboard/trackpad were disabled when it was open past a certain point).

I think the more interesting factor is bringing back the glowing logo. And that it's an OLED. Certainly looks like a nice laptop that tells everyone around "I have 'fuck you' money". I say this as a guy with a MacBook. They aren't all that expensive. But Apple's gone and done a wonderful job of telling thieves which one to grab, and it won't be mine, so that's a plus.
