Touchscreen MacBook: why we love the idea – and why we don't

Dunno if this has been stated before but honestly as someone who has a touchscreen laptop that is plenty powerful (Windows Surface Book Pro - i7 4core, 32gb RAM, etc..) I hardly ever actually use the touch screen, even though I use the laptop plenty to do creative work (Ableton, Photoshop, etc...). Even some creative software that works great with touchscreens such as FL Studio is kinda clunky.

Granted, for ambidextrous people such as myself, having the potential of two mice is kinda cool but even as someone who uses a Surface Pen in one hand and a mouse in the other, it can be cumbersome and the lack of actual real-world necessities for such a setup is problematic.

Blurring the lines between a tablet and a laptop has definitely been happening across the industry for a while now (it potentially reduces R&D spending across different product lines), but honestly I think while there's an incentive to kinda merge the iPad and the MacBook, keeping them as separate products makes sense - because people who use a touch screen tablet have different usecases than someone who is a power user and needs the extra RAM, CPU cores, etc...
