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

我希望苹果的触屏 MacBook 能从这款联想笔记本电脑上学到一些东西。

The Lenovo Yoga 9n is a pricey workstation laptop, but being a 2-in-1 also makes it fun.

联想 Yoga 9n 是一款昂贵的工作站笔记本电脑，但作为一款二合一设备，它也很有趣。

It looks like the long-rumored touchscreen MacBook might actually get announced next week, and after using the Lenovo Yoga 9n for our testing of Nvidia’s RTX Spark platform, it got me thinking: this is a lot of what I want from a touchscreen MacBook.

看起来传闻已久的触屏 MacBook 可能真的会在下周发布。在测试英伟达 RTX Spark 平台时使用了联想 Yoga 9n 后，我不禁想到：这在很大程度上就是我想要的触屏 MacBook。

Like the Apple silicon in modern MacBook Pros, RTX Spark is an Arm-based processor with a beefy integrated GPU and lots of unified memory. And the Yoga is the most fun RTX Spark laptop so far because it’s a 16-inch 2-in-1 convertible with a stylus.

与现代 MacBook Pro 中的 Apple Silicon 一样，RTX Spark 是一款基于 Arm 的处理器，拥有强大的集成显卡和大量的统一内存。而 Yoga 是目前为止最有趣的 RTX Spark 笔记本电脑，因为它是一款配备手写笔的 16 英寸二合一变形本。

The Lenovo Yoga does all your typical 2-in-1 stuff: it can be used as a clamshell laptop, and it can fold its hinge all the way back for tent mode and tablet modes. As a tablet, you can use it in either landscape or portrait orientation, and getting the keyboard out of the way is great for watching movies, playing games with a controller, or integrating your laptop into a multi-monitor desk setup with keyboard and mouse.

联想 Yoga 可以完成所有典型的二合一操作：它既可以作为翻盖式笔记本电脑使用，也可以将铰链完全向后折叠，实现帐篷模式和平板模式。作为平板电脑，你可以横屏或竖屏使用它；将键盘移开非常适合观看电影、使用手柄玩游戏，或者将笔记本电脑整合到带有键盘和鼠标的多显示器桌面设置中。

The Yoga 9n’s included stylus works for note-taking and drawing on its excellent OLED display, but you can also use it on the haptic trackpad for a Wacom-like experience, without blocking the screen with your hand. And the stylus is magnetic, allowing it to attach to the Yoga’s lid — either on its own, or while housed in its case.

Yoga 9n 附带的手写笔不仅可以在其出色的 OLED 显示屏上进行笔记和绘图，还可以在触觉触控板上使用，带来类似 Wacom 的体验，且不会用手遮挡屏幕。此外，手写笔具有磁性，可以吸附在 Yoga 的顶盖上——无论是单独吸附还是放在保护套中时都可以。

I expect a touchscreen MacBook Pro would have Apple Pencil support. And like on the Lenovo, it would go a long way to get me back to using a stylus for retouching. But I hope that also like the Lenovo, it works on the trackpad too — the more options, the better.

我预计触屏 MacBook Pro 会支持 Apple Pencil。和联想笔记本一样，这将极大地促使我重新使用手写笔进行修图。但我希望它也能像联想那样在触控板上使用——选项越多越好。

I don’t expect Apple to make a standard convertible laptop after all this time. Simply joining Windows manufacturers in making a 2-in-1 or swapping the MacBook Pro’s Mini LED for a touchscreen OLED and calling it a day doesn’t seem very Apple.

经过这么长时间，我不认为苹果会制造一款标准的变形笔记本电脑。仅仅像 Windows 制造商那样制造二合一设备，或者将 MacBook Pro 的 Mini LED 换成触控 OLED 就草草了事，这看起来不太像苹果的风格。

I’m hoping for something special, like Apple’s own take on the Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio — a clever idea that brought the touchscreen forward instead of flipping it backwards — or something totally fresh.

我期待一些特别的东西，比如苹果对微软 Surface Laptop Studio 的独特诠释——这是一个巧妙的构思，将触摸屏向前拉动而不是向后翻转——或者是一些全新的东西。
