Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the IBM Laptop Battery
Sad thing is, Microsoft themselves seems ready to relegate pro users to second-class status, pushing Metro/RT as the "New" Windows and regular desktop programs as the "legacy" stuff. There is no way in which a single-screen-per-program will ever work in a professional environment. Apple hasn't pushed MacOS that hard toward being just like iOS yet. And they're actually very smart about this -- Apple was around back when desktop screen interfaces, touch and light pen, failed the first time around (in the 70s and early 80s). They know it's not going to be the answer this time, either. I think gestures on a trackpad, their answer to adapting touch ideas to the desktop, has some traction. On the other hand, touch does work fine on a laptop... they may need to support this in MacOS anyway.
The stupidity of Microsoft and Apple with attery like IBM 08K8193 Battery, IBM 08K8192 Battery, IBM 92P1101 Battery, IBM 92P1089 Battery, IBM 92P1087 Battery, IBM 08K8196 Battery, IBM 92P1102 Battery, IBM 92P1077 Battery, IBM 92P1073 Battery, IBM 08K8199 Battery here is their failure to recognize that computer users and tablet users are DIVERGING. Turning their desktop OSes into dumbed-down poke-and-peck touchscreen OSes is exactly BACKWARD.
A more interesting question, to me, is when the new Macbooks will include touch screens. Checking out the new Windows 8 PCs at the various electronics stores around me, I find that I'm suddenly not interested at all in a laptop that does not include a touch screen. My sense is that the lack of touch screens is going to very suddenly and unexpectedly make Macbooks seem a bit antiquated in comparison with their Windows sporting kin. I have little doubt that Apple engineers and software developers are having some pretty serious discussions about this and how to respond. Don't be too surprised if the next versions of Mac OS are more touch friendly, and new Apple hardware includes touchscreens.
your arms in front of you for only 5 min., without resting them on the desk or on your lap. A vertical touchscreen, whether on a desktop or laptop is ergonomically unsound and will never be used for longer than a few seconds. Apple already supports many on-screen gestures on the trackpad of their laptops. There is also no reason why a Mac could not run IOS programs. After all, the core software of iPhones, iPods, iPods and Macs are all based on the OS X foundation. The work is already all done, since in order to develop IOS software, the Mac runs an IOS emulator for development already.
Well, considering Apple has a pretty good lock on PCs with touch screens already... oh, you don't think of iPads as PCs? Sorry. But they are personal computing devices. But anyway... talk of convergence of the IOS and OSX product lines means Macbooks will probably get this sooner rather than later. And since Apple has an awesome and widely accepted touch interface already with millions of users, I think it will be an easy sell. Not a bolt-on as Metro is.
Think it through. Working by waving your arms around in front of you all day is LUDICROUS. Why would you shun fast and precise input devices to lean forward and smear your fingers around your screen?
No wonder UI and design are going backward, when people cheerlead for idiotic "innovations" like touchscreen computers and wireless charging instead of calling out vendors for bad design.
