Reply to comment by Due-Resident-4588 in Apple might finally make a touchscreen Mac by No-Drawing-6975

Touchscreen support on a mac would be amazing.

Windows tablets are great. And having a touchscreen for drawing is awesome. The fact is that on macs, currently wacoms are kinda the only option. This will open a lot of opportunities.

You can connect an iPad with sidecar and use it with the mac.

I’m not a designer and have no idea if it’s any good.

This is kind of the only thing I’d possibly care about it for. Current options for drawing as a designer on Mac are certainly suboptimal:

  1. Draw analog and scan stuff in
  2. Draw on a Wacom connected to the laptop and get no visual or haptic feedback
  3. Buy an iPad Pro, have a whole separate workflow from your native Illustrator/Photoshop

I’d really like to be able to draw with a stylus directly in the environment I most frequently use for all my creative work.

If you connect this hypothetical iPad to your hypothetical Mac with sidecar, you can use the touch screen and stylus for your Mac environment
