The iPhone has more screens! The MacBook has a touchscreen! The HomeView does CarPlay apps! For the first time in a long time, Apple is in a period of unabashed gadget experimentation, and while the final results aren’t always perfect, it’s fun to watch the most successful product maker try some new things again. Even when, in this case, “trying” amounts to just slapping a touch panel on a lovely new MacBook Pro — just to see if you might use it.
iPhone 有了更多的屏幕！MacBook 有了触摸屏！HomeView 可以运行 CarPlay 应用程序！长期以来，苹果首次进入了一个大胆尝试小工具的时期。虽然最终结果并不总是完美的，但看着这家最成功的产品制造商再次尝试一些新事物，还是很有趣的。即使在这种情况下，“尝试”仅仅意味着在新款精美的 MacBook Pro 上加装一个触摸面板，看看你是否会使用它。
On this episode of The Vergecast, David and Nilay debate the merits of a touchscreen laptop, Nilay explains why he is absolutely positively going to buy the new MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display, and David asks, as always, could this have been an iPad?
