Apple Said to Plan First Pro Laptop Overhaul in Years

Since I use an iPad on a relatively regular basis, I find myself reaching for the screen on my MacBook when it's on my lap and I'm reading the web. Scrolling through webpages with a touch on the screen is a natural gesture now; having to pull my hands back to the touchpad feels clunky in comparison.

It's a minor wish, but a worthwhile addition, IMO.

It's interesting that I hear these anecdotes, because as a user of touch screen devices pre-dating iOS, and every iOS device from 2nd-gen iPhone onward, not once have I ever caught myself reaching to touch the screen of my laptop or desktop monitor. I dunno, in my mind "handhelds are for touching, things with keyboards are not to have their screens touched under threat of bodily harm."
