苹果公司预计将在“Pro and Tell”活动上正式宣布其首款配备触摸屏的MacBook 1。这一举措标志着该公司在笔记本交互设计策略上的重大转变,此前苹果长期对触摸屏笔记本电脑持排斥态度 1。
回顾历史,联合创始人史蒂夫·乔布斯早在2010年便公开批评触摸屏笔记本的人体工学缺陷,直言“触摸表面不希望是垂直的” 1。现任CEO蒂姆·库克则在2012年用比喻形容这类产品如同将冰箱与烤面包机强行结合 1。在引入全面触控之前,苹果最接近该概念的尝试是2016年发布的搭载Touch Bar功能的MacBook Pro 1。
Apple is expected to announce its first touchscreen-equipped MacBook during an upcoming event branded "Pro and Tell," marking a significant shift in the company’s strategy regarding touch-enabled laptops 1. This anticipated launch represents a notable departure from previous executive rhetoric, as both former CEO Steve Jobs and current CEO Tim Cook had previously expressed strong skepticism regarding the utility and ergonomics of combining touchscreens with notebook computers 1.
The historical resistance to this form factor was most famously articulated by Tim Cook in 2012, who compared touchscreen laptops to merging a refrigerator with a toaster, implying that while both devices have distinct functions, combining them results in an impractical product 1. Similarly, in 2010, Steve Jobs criticized the ergonomic design of such devices, arguing that users would not want to interact with vertical surfaces using their hands for extended periods 1. Prior to this new development, the closest Apple had come to integrating touch functionality into its Mac lineup was the introduction of the Touch Bar on the 2016 MacBook Pro models 1.
