Apple laptops are highly appreciated due to their performance. Whenever you buy laptops, they offer you the best ones of course if you can afford them. The main conflict between other laptops and Apple laptops is their price. Apple products are usually expensive, and so are their laptops.

If you want to buy an Apple laptop, then keep this thing in mind that they don’t offer touchscreens. Now you must be thinking, why would such a highly demanded laptop not offer a touch screen facility? Well, the next section of this article discusses the same issue.

Why Don’t MacBooks Have Touch Screens?

There are many features that are requested for MacBook by the users. Sometimes there are port requests, sometimes there are storage requests. But among these requests, the highly requested feature is the addition of a touchscreen. This hasn’t been made possible due to several reasons.

The most common reason for why there isn’t any touchscreen technology added to the MacBook is because Apple wants to save this touchscreen technology for its iPad. As many Windows laptops manufacturers are adopting touchscreen technology and making it common in their laptops. On the other hand, Apple wants to maintain a difference between its laptop and iPad. That is why this technology isn’t added in the MacBook yet.

It isn’t like Apple never tried implementing this technology; it did. But due to failed experiments, Apple decided to have a no-touchscreen policy.

MacBook screens can be converted into a touch screen using an accessory called Airbar. This device could be connected to the MacBook via USB. This connectivity somehow added the facility of the touchscreen to the MacBook screens. This was also labeled as a failed experiment.

Conclusion

Touchscreen on a laptop can be useful specially for artists. Though the trackpads of MacBook are above bar when it comes to scrolling and way better than any Windows based laptops. But it is about time when Apple will finally decide to think of implementing touchscreen technology into the MacBook. This should be considered seriously now as many users are demanding it. Therefore, let’s hope for the best and see whether it works out fine in the future or not.
