Do you believe the next MBP or rMBP will be touch screen? Seems as though all the Windows laptops are making the transition now that we're in a "tablet"-like society. That being said, maybe the next version of OS X will be optimized for touch screen use....
Got a tip for us?

Next MBP Touch Screen?

Probably not, as discussed in dozens of threads before that. Tablets are made for touch interaction, notebooks are made for keyboard and mouse/trackboard interaction.
It's very you'll never see one, as touchscreen on a vertical screen is horrible ergonomics. This has been discussed ad nauseam in this forum.
Will the next Macbook Pro have a touch screen?
touchscreen?
Touch Screen on Next MBP?
Touchscreen iMac - as likely as a refrigerator with toaster
Anybody think a touch screen iMac will be coming soon?
Will there be touch screen on the macbook air?
Next Macbook will be Touch Screen

we don't change
we always expect technology and the world around us to change for us, while we never change nor open our minds to possibilities for our world. there is so little thrill and excitement in the world these days, so glum and ho-hum chugging away at life, eating all the buffets and punching in all the numbers without thought or reasoning behind it. no imagination and full participation in life.
if we put money in the right hands of the greatest scientists we'd have everything that was right and good for this world, including touch screens that work vertically even, wow, think about that.........
it isn't a stretch of any imagination common ! hahaha !
..thank you..

This. Search the forums, this particular horse has been beaten to death multiple times already.
The concensus is that it's a rather stupid concept. Completely unergonomic, imagine holding your arms up for hours on end controlling your computer, your shoulders would be dead after less than 10 minutes since most people are rather out of shape.
I disagree.
I think if you had a laptop that ONLY had a touch screen, then you're correct. That would get very old, very quickly. Same for iMac, desktop, etc. I don't think I'd even make it 10 minutes.
But if you took a standard MBP (with mouse and track pad) and added a touch screen, then the ergonomics do not change at all. You simply have the option of using the touch screen. Combined with gestures, and a lot of things make sense.
I see touch screens complementing keyboards and mice, not replacing them.
Will it happen? Perhaps.
Do I think it is a bad idea? Not if done correctly.
well..
