I don’t really want to get into it, but—
• In the early iPad years, I surely had accidentally thought my MacBook was a touchscreen and attempted to do something like rotate or swipe on a photo.
• There is virtually no “pro” use case I can imagine where touch input on a *laptop display* could ever be useful.
• I can’t believe the hero photo for the product was of a synthesizer keyboard. There’s no way to convince a “pro” who has a physical synthesizer that this would be in any way better.
