MacBook Touch?

Is this real? I hope so.

doesn't matter November 28th, 2008 7:39 PM

If you only have a small image like that with no other links or unedited photos, then it probably isn't.

Its all over Google, but its always just this one picture. I didnt know some people showed it to me in my first period class and i thought it was really cool. Just wondering if any of you guys knew anything about it.

The image is fake, but apple does hold some patents for something along those lines.

You can tell its fake due to the fact that the bottom image to the left has a mighty mouse and a keyboard, which wouldn't go well with a "macbook touch".

and the fact that the bottom right image is basically a picture of an iPhone with the screen edited to show Mac OS X.

A true Macbook Touch is non-existent. The closest you can get to that is by having it outfitted to be a Modbook. Apple has many multi-touch patents and has the resources to produce a product like this, however it doesn't appear to be a priority right now. Those pictures are a good mock-up, but not real.

Thanks for the information. I didn't look at the picture as closely as you guys did. But maybe Apple will make something like this to compete with Windows 7...

Ummm I'm pretty sure it can. Basically it would be like do you want a Windows touch screen or Mac touch screen...

No VC was talking about the software, the operating system, because you mentioned it. Windows 7 has multi-touch screen compatible software for the hardware, you can't expect a normal screen to become touch screen just because it has Windows 7 :B
