Is apple giving customers a choice(upsell $300 feature add?) or will it be the new default. Would assume this comes with apple pencil support as well.

Have to give apple credit, best trackpads and consistent quality across all laptops. Fascinating to see them change any of the old formula. Granted this is a rumor, but would be nice to see the madd features rather than take them away and call it innovative (headphone jack, so stunning and brave!) Without jobs the most innovative thing they have done is move away from x86, and one could argue he set them on that path.

To implement this they would have to make MacOS a lot worse for 99.9% of use cases.

An iPad Pro is what this is, not a mac

Thank you for not saying that overused phrase "grain of salt".

Touch-screen on a laptop as implemented currently is kinda dumb. I hope Apple come up with an innovative solution. Maybe a second screen that slide out from under the keyboard?

Apple invents the best things. Touch-screen laptops? What's next?

Hm sounds like Microsoft beat them to it. Anyone seen the surface laptop studio? Pretty cool if you have the $$

Because Windows 8 was such a success...

This would be a terrible idea, but they've been iOS-ifying macOS for a while now, it would not surprise me in the least.

If they can make it so there's a firmware option to disable it, across reboots and across battery drainage, then sure.

Maybe we finally see 2in1 Apple product that actually works?
iPad pro is nerfed down by iPad OS, and pure laptops just are not so good for touch usage, but offer pro level OS...
