Macbook touch?

24th July 2008 by David North

Rumours are going around about a possible new Apple product. Essentially a Macbook with a touch screen. Of course there have been tablet PCs for some time however they’ve never really taken off and this takes things a little further.

Apple seems to have the magic touch for opening up markets to the masses - MP3 players were hardly ten a penny before the iPod.

Everything seems to be moving towards this new “touch” interface - Microsoft Surface is another possibility but I’ve never been convinced that this is a mature product. I’ve never felt Microsoft are pushing this as a replacement for the reliable old mouse - hedging their bets just a tad.

I’ll be interested to see what appears on the scene.
