I won’t buy a touchscreen MacBook Pro — here’s why you shouldn’t either

Apple has recently unveiled a touchscreen MacBook Pro, which it calls the "PROLED XDR Display." The company claims this new feature allows graphic designers and musicians to interact with their content in new ways. However, the writer remains unconvinced about the benefits of touchscreen laptops, stating that their gesture interactions are often unnecessary and uncomfortable for prolonged use.

The writer criticizes Apple for not addressing arm fatigue, a common issue with touchscreen laptops, and questions why anyone would want to buy a touchscreen MacBook Pro when there's a $2,899 starting price and a maximum configuration of $14,549. The writer argues that the touchscreen panel feels like an afterthought, adding little value to the overall experience.

Despite some praising the touchscreen display as "totally and wonderfully natural," the writer believes that using a touchscreen laptop for extended periods will inevitably lead to fatigue and discomfort. The writer also points out that Apple's CEO, John Ternus, struggled to justify the inclusion of the touchscreen display, suggesting that the feature may not be as innovative or inspiring as Apple claims.
