![]() ![]() They'll probably do it when they think they can do it "right." and of course Apple's opinion of "right" is often not what is accepted as conventional by the "experts" and "power users" so we will have to see what they come up with. I'm not saying Apple would never do a touchscreen. You can keep your arm at a more natural and mouse-like distance and angle while being able to comfortably have touch control over the entire large screen from the much more compact area of the trackpad. You do get complete touch control over the screen, but Apple provides it through their excellent trackpad (or Magic Trackpad for desktops). Meanwhile, you could look at the Leap Motion controller.Īll of the reasons in this thread about constant reaching and cramps is why Apple has not made touchscreen monitors for the desktop up to this point. I'd like to see some more touch/iOS like features for the new Mac laptops, but not without sacrificing the Mac OS itself. I dunno anyone who prefers the Surface Pros except people who use drawing and painting applications a LOT, and even some of them still prefer the Cintiqs, maybe cuz they're used to them. ![]() Some other posts in the iPad forum note that with some new tablets MS is getting better at integrating touch with a more full Windows OS, while iOS and MacOS are still far apart. I agree about the Cintiq if you need that, then go full monty and get something dedicated to that. ![]() It's just a pain to lean forward to touch the screen. I have a 13" Acer laptop with a touch screen, and rarely use it. Really more of a tablet with laptop features (keyboard, eg) than vice versa. ![]() Not surprising that touch screens haven't gotten any traction until devices got small enough and had high enough resolution that you could move them close. ![]()
