MacBook Pro with touchscreen is said to be in the works

While Chromebook and Windows PC makers have rolled out touchscreens in laptops across the board, Apple hasn’t. Instead, the company is focusing on mouse control for the Mac and ditching touchscreen technology for the iPad. So explained in 2021 Tom BogerApple’s marketing director, that the iPad is the “best touch computer in the world” and the Mac is “fully optimized for direct input”.

According to the rumor mill, Apple’s minds have changed and a Mac with a touchscreen is being considered. Things are said to have progressed to the point where a MacBook Pro with a touchscreen is already being tested. A release in 2025 is suggested.

The MacBook Pro overhaul is said to maintain a “traditional laptop design.” That means we’d be left with a standard trackpad and keyboard. The additional input option via the screen would therefore be optional and should be seen as a bonus, including touch gestures.

Eventually, if Apple decides to release a touchscreen Mac, the technology could expand to other models in the lineup, according to Bloomberg.
