A MacBook Pro touchscreen? About damn time

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-21 07:00:00

It's somewhat ironic that Apple, the company that popularized the use of capacitive touchscreens with the iPhone and iPad, has been staunchly opposed to bringing our fingers anywhere near MacBook screens. Meanwhile, Microsoft and PC makers jumped at the opportunity to build touchscreen laptops years ago. The tablet-focused Windows 8 was a failure, sure, but touchscreens led to excellent convertible notebooks and hybrid tablets like the Surface lineup. Now, according to a new rumor from longtime

At multiple points over many years, Apple executives have taken great pains to point out that they think touchscreen Macs are a silly idea. But it remains one of those persistent Mac rumors that crops up over and over again every couple of years, from sources that are reliable enough that they shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand.

Ming-Ching Kuo today suggested that we can expect a touchscreen MacBook Pro to go into production in late 2026. This is the latest in a years-long string of rumors that Apple is working on such a device. The company has been testing prototypes since at least 2008, but has consistently dismissed the idea of launching one. However, I do tend to believe the latest report … Apple’s rejection of touchscreen Macs Apple has consistently rejected the idea of a touchscreen Mac over a great many years.

Anti-AGI Protester Now on Day Nine of Hunger Strike in Front of Anthropic Headquarters

Artificial general intelligence, the prospect of a synthetic entity meeting or exceeding the cognitive power of a human, is a polarizing topic. For some, like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, it's a mission statement — the lodestar guiding the company's $300 billion operations.

How Britain built some of the world’s safest roads

How Britain built some of the world’s safest roads The death rate per mile driven has declined 22-fold since 1950. A century ago, these were the cars on Britain’s roads. Forget driving lessons or tests; to get behind the wheel legally, all you needed was a paper license, which cost the equivalent of around 25 pence today. Cars had no seatbelts and, of course, no airbags. There were no mirrors to let you see traffic behind. There were no flashing indicators, so your signal to turn left or right

Going to Space Could Make Your Cells Age Faster

Spaceflight pushes the human body to its limits, exposing astronauts to microgravity, high levels of radiation, and extended periods of isolation. These stressors affect their health in various ways, many of which scientists are still working to fully understand. But if we are ever to boldly go where no human has gone before, we need to know all the risks before we take the leap.
