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

You can use a stylus currently with the MacBook trackpads & the surface area is big enough for signatures which I often do as well for work. This is the only “touch” use case I can think of for a regular laptop user. iPads exist for a reason & fill the “hybrid” niche well IMO.

I’m against touching my Retina display at all costs as fingerprints drive me crazy. If Apple can come up with a better oleophobic coating then what they use on iPhone for the display I’d maybe consider it but still find it unnecessary.

I agree. I regularly have to ask my colleagues and wife to not touch my screen when they are pointing to something on a non-touch screen. But with that said, some people don’t care and you can use the functionality sparingly without dirtying up your screen.
