#2I sure hope there's a way to disable the touchscreen. My ThinkPad has one, and I hate it. I never want to touch the screen on purpose, so its only function is to unexpectedly move my cursor when my sleeve or something brushes too close.

I first had the touchscreen on my current x13 gen1 amd, which is overall a shitty laptop with crappy linux support.
It’s… okay-ish. I occasionally use it as it’s comfortable to scroll with my finger when I’m using my laptop on the couch.
HOWEVER: i rarely do that but the touchscreen is drawing power all the time.
I’d have preferred a non-touch display…

Apple is usually good at letting users turn off most features.
The article suggests the touchscreen will be a secondary input mode and the keyboard + trackpad (or mouse) will still be the primary mode of interaction.

That’s adding a secondary feature to turn off to the BOM.

#6I have owned two high end OLED TVs both got horrible burn-in within a year. I'll never get another. This will only be worse on a computer screen with permanent areas like menu bars and docks to ruin the OLEDs. I've heard all the "we have fixed this..." and most of these are demonstrably marketers spouting, well dare I say, lies.

I have Chromebook with touchscreen. It's great to mix trackpad and touchscreen.
But after heavy use display became dirty because of human fat that remain on screen. I didn't notice similar things in iPhone/iPad however.

#8In the past when Apple had really well designed software, this would’ve been such an exciting announcement.
Now I feel confident that it will be half integrated, poor user experience nonsense.

#9Of all the features only the M6 processor and maybe C2 modem interest me.
Because it's my 'dev machine' an OLED display only raises the price.

VCV modular would be fun with touch screen. :D
