While a lot of laptops have touchscreens these days, most people with touchscreen laptops will tell you that they only very rarely use the touchscreen. Unless they have one of those laptops where the screen folds over the back, using a touchscreen on a laptop is an unpleasant experience, which is why most of us opt for a mouse or trackpad.

However, leakers now say that Apple is following this touchscreen trend and releasing their own touchscreen laptop. Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently claimed that Apple would have a laptop that utilizes a “touch panel using on-cell touch technology,” while other reporters have long alleged that Apple was looking into adding a touchscreen laptop to its lineup.

What would Steve Jobs think about this?

Turns out, we don’t need to speculate because the man answered the question himself. In short, he hated the idea.

“We’ve done tons of user testing on this, and it turns out it doesn’t work. Touch surfaces don’t want to be vertical,” he said when debuting the iPad. “It gives great demo but after a short period of time, you start to fatigue, and after an extended period of time, your arm wants to fall off. It doesn’t work. It’s ergonomically terrible. Touch surfaces want to be horizontal, hence pads.”

But hey, maybe Apple knows something we don’t, and we’ll all buy their new laptop where they, I don’t know, have removed all the keys and ports for some reason yet still insist that it’s “better.”
