I hope Apple’s touchscreen MacBook takes some lessons from this Lenovo laptop

The writer says Lenovo’s Yoga 9n offers a useful model for what a touchscreen MacBook could do, as reports suggest Apple may announce one next week. The 16-inch convertible combines a laptop with tent and tablet modes, and its stylus makes creative work more flexible.

The Yoga’s stylus works on both its OLED screen and haptic trackpad, and attaches magnetically to the lid, though it charges by USB-C. The writer hopes Apple Pencil support would include trackpad use and magnetic attachment with wireless charging. They favour a distinctive design and touch-friendly macOS, rather than a conventional convertible, while noting that a touch MacBook is expected to be expensive and that touchscreen desktop systems can feel clunky.
