Ah, but you can always use a mouse instead of the trackpad on a Mac. Even when I'm using my MBP (as opposed to my desktop Mac), I still always use a Magic Mouse so that I can use the surface of the mouse for scrolling and the mouse itself for navigation and click/right clicking.Even assuming that’s true for a second, how exactly would a MacBook help this situation?
The MacBook is literally controlled by eight touchpad. If someone has trouble using a touchscreen, they most certainly will have trouble, if not more trouble, using a touchpad. Whole interaction method is swiping, dragging and clicking.
Theoretically you can do the same on an iPad but I've never found using a great big circular blob as a cursor to be as accurate as way to select a target location on the screen. Plus, EVERYTHING on the iPad requires touch, whereas most of what I do on my Mac is done with keyboard and, to some extent, mouse. After all, the primary interface for the iPad is touch. The Mac's interface is keyboard and mouse/trackpad oriented.
