The Mac is not only an integral part of Apple’s ecosystem today, but it’s also the longest-running product in the company’s history. Dating back to 1984. In fact, the Macintosh existed before Apple even had an ecosystem of different products. And that puts it in a unique position today. Compared to more recent releases like the Apple Watch, iPad, and iPhone, the Mac uses an entirely different type of technology: A mouse and keyboard, instead of a touch screen. This has caused many people to wonder whether or not Apple would eventually add a touch screen to the Mac, and therefore make it’s operating system touch-based like on every other product they offer. But ever since reporters and customers began asking this question, Apple has remained adamant that a multi-touch Mac doesn’t make sense. And we’re going to find out why in this video.

i have a touch display on my dell because I thought I’d use it a lot... I never use it and forget it’s there until I try to wipe away some dust and all my windows suddenly close -.-
lol
Yeah I see them as pointless cuz most of the windows apps are designed for use with a mouse and if I have a trackpad right there why would I bother touching the screen instead lol
When I had a Windows machine for work that had a touch screen, I went and dug into the settings and disabled the touch screen for that very reason.
i had a lenovo with touch screen and i agree completely it’s really more of an inconvenience
I use the touch display quite often actually just because I want to touch and get to websites or files as fast as possible without using a mouse or keyboard at times. But of course, then again touch screen isn't needed unless you actually need it.
I used a touchscreen laptop for years and when i finally upgraded to a desktop i had to unlearn a bunch of behaviors that were only possible on a touchscreen, so it really does add something.
Yeah, exactly. Its just natural to do so and you will eventually love it.
I completely agree. I have a mac book now and I have finger prints all over my screen because I used to use my touchscreen so much. Depends what type of user you are I suppose. I just think there are so many little things that are useful on a touchscreen laptop once you get used to it.
We all know that. Apple does not want laptops replacing any functionality of an ipad. They do not want devs being able to use their laptop screen to test apps. They want them to buy an ipad to go with their laptop.
The point of this comment (this is obvious): if it can envoke behaviours that have to be unlearned, then it did help and was good
@@onion2787 yeah true ia m using one rn and i like using it
I'll be honest, I've been using a Surface for a while now, and I love the touchscreen. I can use it as a laptop with full Windows 10, a drawing tablet, or just an eReader. It's an insanely flexible device.
I really enjoyed using the Surface at school
If it’s one of the old Surface laptops, then sure…. But the new ones are horrible.
Them being ARM based made them less powerful and less flexible. They’re basically expensive paper weights that are only for professionals (sorta) and even x86 emulation is still lacklustre on those systems.
@@Thewaterspirit57 They still make surface pros with x86 CPUs, the only ARM one is the Pro X.
@@Thewaterspirit57 For what folks use em for they are fine. Most people just use computers to write notes, light office use, and web browsing/social media/cat videos. If you want to complain about ARM then you need to complain about apple products then as the same emulation is on it is lackluster on apples. A ton of applications professionally still rely on x86, so you can't even say "well apple arm is powerful" if the app's you need don't work on em. So it's relative.
As for why apple doesn't allow touch screen on mac's or laptops, it's because of profit. Why give you that option when they can force you to buy two products instead? Two in One's allow you to flip into tablet mode so there is no excuse about comfort like this video is shilling about. Surfaces are popular for a reason and touchscreen is a BIG reason why. Apple knows this. There is nothing folks can say that shows otherwise really. Apple has the tech already to make it happen and just disable it on the laptops.
Every time I show my dad something on my Mac he tries tapping the screen. I must have told him almost a 100 times now, that it doesn’t have a touch screen. He has an iPhone and an IPad, so I think his intuition tells him that a Mac also has one. But omg the trackpad on those machines are phenomenal, who would need a touch display?
The iPad with Magic Keyboard really is the best of both worlds.
My mom does this to me too and I hate it lol. When I have to show her how to do something on her touchscreen laptop, I have to touch the screen since she doesn't know how to use her trackpad. I really hate touching the screen if I have the choice to use a cursor.
I just bought my first mac and got the MacBook Air, I love the trackpad so much, I used to use a mouse a lot because I hated the trackpads on my other computers, but this one? I haven’t even touched my mouse since I got the computer
Just because it has a great trackpad (which I also believe is very important and what I like about mine), on the couch when its far closer to me, its way more ergonomic to be able to scroll with your thumb. Same goes for when showing friends and family my display, a trackpad only makes sense on a desk but these laptops are made to be used on the go and in various locations. Having a touchscreen takes nothing away from a good trackpad, so it's not like its one or the other. The Surface Laptop also has a very good touchpad AND a touchscreen...
@@anendiyaharikumar6159 "the option to buy an ipad" they really brainwashed you to buy two separate Apple items to do what one can? For some people it makes sense, but for casual users with a small laptop, the touch display adds versatility to scroll more ergonomically in any situtaion but a desk where the trackpad makes more sense.
My Mac is on a laptop stand and I don't even lift my hands up to use the Touch Bar lol
I have my MB on a stand too and i don't use the touchbar. But when i have it on my lap on a table, i use the touchbar to take a screenshot, adjust brightness and volume, and scroll through yt ads lol. But i have one of those metal stands that litf it up pretty high so i had to buy a mouse and a keyboard...
And sorry for my awful english...

I use it 40% of times. It’s great but you usually have to awkwardly grip the screen with your other hand

(They will never do that because of the IPad and if they do its not gonna have many new features that can be done with it)
Yep. If they made a touchscreen mac then the Ipad market would take a hit. My guess is they will just make the ipad pro better and better and maybe (I am doubtful though) the ipad pro may get MacOS
Indeed😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ve honestly never felt the need to touch my screen lol. My cursor and keyboard are far more accurate than my big, grubby hands. I even bought a keyboard and mouse for my iPad when I need to do productive work. Touch is just not as quick, and can be uncomfortable to use over long periods of productivity.
Buying keyboard for iPads, laptops exist for a reason
@@insanitylol laptops are just shitty iPads.
As a student I am totally happy with my Macbook Air. The only thing I miss is the note taking like on the iPad, its quite revolutionized the idea of learning for student. Other than that the the OS is totally superior.
@@insanitylol I have a laptop but I also have a keyboard case for my iPad, and a mini portable mouse for both. As a science student, I don't always bring my laptop to school just cause it's big, and can be annoying to bring all the time. My backpack can only fit so many things. My ipad, on the other hand, is small and always fits and doesn't take much room up. Hence, I bring a keyboard +iPad with me incase I need to get work done at school but don't have my laptop with me... Plus I take notes on my iPad and sometimes instead of writing, I like to do a mix and also use some text for notes, so a keyboard is very nice for that.
@@TheRagingSun so you’re 12 and still don’t know macbooks are a subset of laptops and not an alternative? Talk about requiring a brain.
A touchscreen is one of those things where you don’t realize how much it helps until you have one and then you wonder why anyone would not make their laptops without a touchscreen. If you don’t need it then you don’t have to use it but whether you use it almost never or you use it a lot, you will still use it for certain things because it makes certain tasks so much easier.
You are right, they should just put there but touchscreen is the future, and everyone should have a choice touchscreen or keyboard, Mac is stupid
@@christopherwallen923 I completely agree, it makes no sense why Mac still won’t do it.
Personally, I use a 2 in 1 hp specter to work on Krita and blender and to me, the touch screen was really needed
A touch screen Mac with a touch version of macOS is called an iPad
No, Macs are more powerful and the os is a desktop os
@@rubenzwr3782 that is true
Nah, iPad can't run many of macOS' apps like *most* of the adobe apps, blender, rosetta, crossover, etc.

I'm not a Mac user, but I have a touchscreen on my Windows laptop and I really like it. I use it primarily to read long pdf documents. It's handy to be able to scroll the document using my thumb. It doesn't sound too impressive, but it is a pleasure to use.
Same as me. Currently not having any, but having touch on is a nice little feautre, mainly for scrolling, but sometimes it just feels "better" to touch the specific thing instead over the trackpad, but can't give a reason why that is.
Wich would be a different thing, if PC manufacturers had something like a brain and made a different hinge for ANY touch Laptops, so they became useable as convertibles, were one would use the touchscreen a whole lot.
Touchscreens for non convertible Laptops are for me kinda like the additional feautre no one really asked for, but wouldn't mind getting it. I wouldn't buy a Laptop because it got a Touchscreen, as it isn't that important. But if a new Laptop I'd want had one, I wouldn't be mad either.
@@j.d6009 well sometimes it just is overly sensitive on laptops and it goes too fast and is annoying
@@walker4541 the Mac touchpad is amazing and super accurate for scrolling
@@sagichdirdochnicht4653 I mean I dont know what 2 in 1 lapstops you use, but I my thinkpad X1 Yoga, is really good at it, and honestly I can't go back to not having a touch screen.
@@j.d6009 It just feels nicer to use the touchscreen sometimes.
my first computer was a Surface Pro 4 and i loved the touch screen. i wish apple at least gave the option.
also i love the touch bar except i have the older model without the physical escape key. that would be nice
my experience with touchscreens on laptops is kinda limited, but the times I used it I just got annoyed by the laptop "wobbling" and not being stable enough while getting touched on the screen
Yeah very true.
Kinda the opposite for me. I have a new Lenovo Yoga and the screen is stiff when I touch it, basically I have to use both hands when opening or closing the screen.
Or when you have a Convertible, even a Top-of-the-Line one like the HP Elite x360 1030 on your lap and you are typing really fast on the keyboard and the Screen is „wobbling“ back and forth.
I own a hybrid laptop for 2 years, and I gotta say, it's a pointless gimmick. Yes, it looks cool at the tech store for 5 mins, but that's all. I rarely even use the touch screen at all for my work due to the wobbly screen and poor ergonomics. even when I try to use it as a tablet, its too big and clumsy to be a tablet. Not to mention the battery life is pretty abysmal. Overall a pointless feature that many Apple haters like to make fun of on the macbook.
and so does the ipad when attached to magic keyboard
I never know I had a touch screen till 3 seconds ago
You can tell, based on the glare of the screen/gloss,plus the box normally says that 😅
If the screen has glare it likely has touch

I think Apple doesn’t like the idea of optimizing an OS for touch, just to have some of its lineup being left in the lurch (Mini, Pro-machines without an integrated screen), or worse, having to create two different versions of the OS, one optimized for touch and the other not.
2:03 The touch screen on my HP ENVY was actually very helpful. During COVID 19 in July 2020 I had to sign some digital paperwork and the "drawing" park helped me put down my signature and fill out information. The file didn't allow me to type my info so I was able to draw with it.
The only down side is when the math tutors accidently touched the screen and then it activates something.
My laptop as a tablet is too heavy so I just leave it on my desk. Overall I am happy with it.
To be honest, I use my touch screen HP all the time. But only with a stylus.
Ah yes, the smooth transition to the sponsor 😘👌🏼
Just discovered the channel and trying the podcast tonight, good stuff so far!
I have recently ditched the MacBook for an iPad with Magic Keyboard and I actually love the versatility of the touch screen/keyboard combo.
I use HP x360 touchscreen laptop, the convertible option is great although touch not used very frequently. Mostly while using calculator on screen, touch is a big bonus. Also touch pen for drawing and document signing gives me comfort.
I, and many of my friends, use the touchscreens on our 2 in 1's, especially for note taking. I am constantly using my Surface as a tablet, and for desktops, things like the surface studio are honestly phenomenal. Classic laptops don't do too well with these touchscreens, but 2 in 1's and laptops with screens that move above the keyboard are a lot better when they have touchscreens.
me too! I cant live without touch screen notebooks... I use them for 5 years. it is way faster to do things like scrolling and drag and drop and just point elements on screen
Yeh, I mean who writes on paper and then has to store and retrieve the notes again!
@@paulconnell1309 Are you being facetious or serious?
@@CybernerdShua Dead serious. I gave up on paper years ago, i am a professional and I carry an iPad everywhere to make notes, read and annotate documents. Sign documents on glass. If someone hands me something on paper I tend to hand it back and ask for a copy by email or Onedrive etc.
@@paulconnell1309 OK, yeah. I wasn't sure. Seriously, though, when I first got my surface I realized I could just ditch paper documents and was absolutely ecstatic.
I’m kind of torn on the touchscreen issue. As a native PC user who just bought a MacBook, I find myself constantly reaching up to tap the screen to move windows, zoom, and drag files. It’s the simple things like that that make me wish my MacBook had a touch screen - the little interactions that are just faster to do with hands-on movement.
But for all other things, I much prefer having a mouse. I can’t imagine using a traditional After Effects or Affinity Photo interface with touch, and when I had my Surface Pro, I never interacted with pro apps in that way. It’s the general interface and basic navigation that I think benefits from touch.
When MacOS Big Sur was launched, people were quick to notice the UI elements like spaced out icons, giving speculations that future Macs may support touch input as it appeared to be more touch friendly. I'd say Apple can pull off a touch screen Mac by giving options like Tent Mode or 270 degree stand mode so the ergonomics won't feel odd. See Lenovo Yoga series for instance.
For me touch screen is life changing. I have a HP Envy and as a web developer is a very useful feature. I can use the keyboard and the screen at the same time. It saves a lot of time and helps a lot on web design and testing. I wouldn't buy a laptop without touch screen.
I did not think Apple implementing a touch screen Mac one day was possible but you've convinced me that it could happen.
It's because they have to make money off of their products. Unlike Google, Apple doesn't make money from ads.
This ad was smoother that the Touch Bar on the MacBook
Having an iPad I use primarily as my main device, I regularly find myself tapping the screen of my MacBook Pro and thinking “Why isn’t this working? ”
It would be nice to have a touch screen alternative to the track pad thing below the keyboard, even if it’s switched off by default.
And, fantastic video! That's SOOO COOL and interesting about the individual touch screens on the keys of a MacBook! I'd love to see something like that some day!
This makes a lot of sense. I have a PC laptop that has a touch screen and I’ve never once used it.

your seamless transitions to Squarespace are admirable 👏🏾
For those of you who have a touchscreen computer but don't want the touchscreen (on Windows 10): there's a way to disable it and use it like any old non touchscreen computer. Has something to do with device manager I think but Google to be sure.

It would be fine with me if the MacBooks keep their non-touch interfaces. It's nice not having to clean fingerprints and smudges off my M1 Air.
I say the SAME.

Yes but you interact with those devices differently than on a MacBook.
@@housepianist How is that relevant to finger smudges that don't actually exist?
@@wta1518 good grief, am I really having this conversation?
The point of my comment was that I’m glad Apple did not put touch screens on their MacBooks because that would be another screen to have to clean regularity of fingerprints. Since it isn’t a touchscreen, fingerprints shouldn’t be a concern.
I love touchscreen on all my laptops, for lying down usage, scrolling through a page , not having to wait for mouse travel, skipping along videos in things like VLC - can't live without it
This guy with his smooth sponsor transitions; it almost feels like I clicked on this video to learn about Squarespace... even though I clicked because of Mac and touch screens!
That transition into the sponsor segment was so smooth
Thank you for making these thorough and interesting videos! In regards to the touch bar for Mac, it is convenient having a tiny extra display directly above the keyboard. However, the touch feature may be gimmicky as using the cursor is probably just as fast for most tasks. Still, I would like to be able to move the mouse off of the screen and onto the touch bar, in addition to having a full touch screen.
That ad transition was seamless, much unlike bringing up the function keys to change volume on the touch bar 😉😉
Ok I’ve used the touch bar once on a MacBook Pro and it was actually fun and different to use, I would’ve thought that it would have been more popular because it’s different
Right now I just come only to see the next smooth ad transition
Apple official Twitter should do polls about iOS or apple related

@@Auto-Toon they send you surveys actually, when you just bought some product
Touch screen on a laptop owner here, I own a Thinkpad X1 Extreme and although most of my pointing is done with the Trackpoint, (i can't STAND trackpads) it's convenient to also have the touch screen for when you're moving the mouse around a lot/have a bunch of stuff open and need to open/close/select a bunch of individual things (not all at once). I think the Mac line could benefit from this. There should however be an option to disable it or buy a touch-less screen for those that would prefer not to have it, if they're brushing up against it/etc.
Thanks for this video👍👍
I fail to see any benefit of having a touchscreen on a Mac

Other brands seems to be doing ok with touch screens. Though most apple laptops are used by designers that are unable to use their laptop as a drawing book on the go. Tablet mode on windows 10 works pretty well.
The main concern of the touch screen on mac is that every touch and swipe could damage the coating on the Screen
True, it is inelegant and disgusting that there will be oil and all sorts of debris on the screen surface if it was a touchscreen
@@nicholasfong5182 the amount of fingerprints I have on mine are insane just from adjusting the screen tilt is insane so I can’t imagine how bad touch Macs will be plus the hinges will have to be stronger to support the taps and wobble of the screen plus touch screens would drive the price of screens through the roof as they are expensive enough to replace with a normal Retina display
@@Noaddedsalt01 true, l have to constantly clean my screen with a microfibre cloth
About dirt and stuff, clean it and what coating? It doesn’t help much, screen can still crack. I think you mean bezel

I hate my second laptop cause it's garbage, but the touch screen is so useful. It is very comfortable because you only reach up for things like closing a window or dragging a window with snapping. So nice. I really miss it on my main m1 macbook air
Edit: sometimes I reach up to touch my ultrawide monitor out of habit to realise it won't work when I touch the screen. So useful to have it
me too! I cant live without touch screen notebooks... I use them for 5 years. it is way faster to do things like scrolling and drag and drop and just point elements on screen
I wouldn’t be surprised if MacBooks in the future have detachable keyboards like Windows Surface. I’d love to draw with the full version of Photoshop on a Mac.
I have been an avid follower of your channel post I had my first mac, trust me I being an engineer from the field of computers, started of my journey into apple with A Mac and I shall be proud to say that it is does satisfy my needs as per when needed.

Touchscreen on a laptop is useless and expensive addition for most people. I would rather have better processor than a touch screen on a laptop.
I hate it when an ad interrupts the video Im watching, but the narrator works it in to make it seem like its part of the main video.

Why not MacBook Touch x’D
Yup
I have an iPad pro with magic keyboard. Some times I still use the touch screen to press a button on the screen rather than the track pad.
When I switch to my mac, I have found myself pressing buttons on the screen - but it did not work. I would like touch screen on my mac :-)
The Touch screen gives more precision and flexibility
Exactly, I do the same with my Surface Pro and love it. It just makes things better.

Great video, but I feel like he’s cherry-picking comments... like in 2:21 the unhighlighted part says “I could see it being useful on a 2 in 1 especially with a stylus
I own a surface pro 6 Windows tablet hybrid and while I don't use the touch screen for general use, it's invaluable for doing illustration work because I can use touch gestures with compatible design apps.
I love the touch screen on my laptop! I hated laptops until they got touch screens. I want them to be very portable, lightweight and generally easy to use either way you want otherwise I don't find the need for one and I would prefer a tower PC. But the touch screen, even if it's not the primary choice, does come in handy and when you try a different laptop without one(yes even a mac) it just feels dated and frustrating!
I mean, I would never use the touchscreen on my macbook if they included it. My need of a touchscreen on my laptop died with Windows 8.1 lol - I don't see it necesarry nowadays.
I have touch on my HP G5, just adds weight. Never been used :(
the mac's voiceover feature for blind makes trackpad usable as a touch screen. i meen it's not dragging the cursor when you move your finger on a trackpad, but all items on the screen are placed the same way on trackpad. even though the trackpad is not a screen, you can touch different parts of trackpad and it will say different items on the screen.
They should still add a touchscreen. It's not meant to replace the touchpad and keyboard, but be a supplement when the mouse and keyboard isn't able to do things as efficiently. It's also very comfortable using a touchscreen on a flexible 360° laptop.
"Using a touch screen isn't comfortable so we've gone ahead and made the decision for you by not including one!"
Exactly it’s dumb let them have it if they want it
You anti-Apple idiots mock everything Apple does. Samsung mocked Apple for removing the headphone jack then removed it themselves. Same with the charging brick and non-removable battery. They also copied the iPhone’s patented multi touch technology along with glass backs, personalised emojis, camera layout, icons, and I could go all day talking about this.
Not having a touch screen is stupid
It's quite useful and I miss it
@@channelpolitica1364 they didn't copy glass backs they added wireless charging
And I'm not a Samsung user
I was an apple sheep but then I shifted to android and liked it much better
@@channelpolitica1364 do you have macbook M1 if you dont have it better shut up
when your arms get sore, use this thing attached to your laptop called a touchpad
And when you can stretch or want touch, use touchscreen
That ad sponshership was not expected but so smoth
Fun fact if you run Big Sur on a VM where the host computer has touch screen or on a hackntosh you can use touch to interact with Mac OS
