Maybe we will see it, maybe it will never be a reality, but seeing the renders that some designers have made from the data from a patent that Apple has presented regarding what the MacBook For the future, everything makes us think that the Cupertino people are really thinking about going tactile and leaving the physical pulsations behind once and for all.
If we analyze what has always happened with Apple laptops, their weak point is the keyboard and by this we do not mean that they are not well manufactured but that as it is a part of the computer made of parts that work by pulsations and movements mechanical that are susceptible to wearing out parts and damaging them, it can always be a starting point for problems on your Macbook Pro.
In addition, it is the area of the computer through which it is easier for liquids to enter due to an accidental spill. All this would be solved with what we can see in the images of this patent. An idea is outlined that does nothing more than state that Apple wants the keys of its computers to disappear completely in the future. We would have a great Touch Bar that would be a keyboard and trackpad at the same time, which would show that Apple, believe it or not, It could have started its change process already with the introduction of the Touch Bar in the latest MacBook Pros.
This concept of keyboard or touch surface is already available in Lenovo computers such as the Yoga, but we are sure that Apple is giving a twist to what could be the reflections since in the patent itself it speaks of a polarized surface to avoid reflexes in addition to a haptic response that would help us feel the smooth surface as physical keys with relief.
Pfff the surfaces are better
