    Lighter is helpful. The bigger screen models are great until you slip it in a bag and it morphs into lead.

    Lit Apple logo is back to basics.

    Touch screen - I guess enough degrees of separation between this team and Steve Jobs; I heard he was the reason it never happened. I have a touch laptop for work and never use it. It just gets manky with fingerprints. I’m sorta moderate on the greasy fingers scale, but I’ve see what happens if the user is a hand lotion type of person. Eww

      I’m the same. Never use the touchscreen on my laptop. Much easier to use the trackpad, especially on macs where it is so well implemented.

      Seems like Apple is hitting its downfall era.

      I imagine an OLED screen and an OLED touchscreen of that size cost the same to produce so they just went „what the heck“ and choose the touchscreen.

      Hell, I remember my colleague’s non-touch CRT monitor that was just caked with grease from him touching it over the years to “point” out things to other people. Also, it was set for 59.9 Hz refresh and flickered insanely (until I changed it to 85Hz when they weren’t looking, and they noticed it didn’t look so “strange” anymore).
