I 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 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.

In 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.

Of 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.

A few people have been predicting touch screen macs every year forever and they’re always wrong. Apple won’t do a touch screen mac. You can’t look cool using a touch screen on a laptop.
