i don't know.........
i'm a girl
and i'm a really practical thinker & shaker
anyways......
when i am working on a lot of projects on my lappie here..
i just wish i could reach up onto that screen and tap something or a few things together and drag them, shrink and re-size things, flip things, toss things, write and select ALL things, etc etc etc etc things!!!
because with the mouse or track pad, there are a lot of combination of things you have to do in order to perform a few simple tasks with the least amount of gestures and clicks you know?! moving that cursor or pointer around a large screen is a waste of time in these ever advancing technological times(?)
when you are really busy working and you wanna get lots of things done in little time, you shouldn't CARE if your screen is all smudged with finger prints, eeeewww, come on that is just girly! HAHAHAAA!
that is why they threw in that cloth thingy, didn't you highlight that on your 'un-boxing videos' duh!
i don't see fingerprints or care about them when i'm WORKING on my mbps, who looks at a screen when nothing is on it, unless you are some sort of a paranoid-narcissistic-perfectionist and you care too much about how you and your 'things' appear to others, then i understand your predicaments - but as for me I COULD CARE LESS, cos I'm the one getting a lot of work DONE much quicker! when i am done, i go for the cloth and wipe-wipe-wipe, all clean again for when i open up that lid again to do more productive work.
i like the dedicated units 'tablets' but i also want that 'touch' ability on all my devices, that feeling of being ONE with your technology is important to me as a musician, so important even more as a human, i don't want to feel that the technology is apart from me, i want it to be a part of me!
i don't know...... so, the more i think about it and the more i naturally wanna reach into my work and interact more with it, makes me wanna hope for a smart touch laptop, nothing like what is already out there, they are lame.
it is about integrating all revolutionary technology together, rather than specialized pieces here and there, i think it is great that the ipad is a stand alone, adding a keyboard jacket thingy to it is ridiculous - these people turning it into a minI-padpro-top this and that is dumb! it should remain just what it is a useless piece of techno crap. apple used to be FOR inventive professionals, now it's just aiming at the teens and the CONSUMER gadget market; now you'll find macs next to LG appliances and dishwasher/slowcooker/vacuum 3 in 1 units right? but wait... wait for it....... in the form-factor of a microwave, you know those small light bulb ones that little kids get on Christmas way back when, so they can pretend to bake an all egg cake or a crusty bun in there?
where are the PRO-inventive market? we're still producing work on 17" 2007 mbps thank you very much, we're left in the dust, or are we?!
revolutionary -- yeaaaaaaaaah!
