If there's one device the Apple faithful seems to want, it's a touchscreen MacBook that blends the things they love about macOS and iPadOS. With rumors of a MacBook with a touchscreen continually heating up, the excitement is building for a device that blends the best of both worlds.

However, according to a report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman in his PowerOn newsletter, Apple is almost certainly working on a touchscreen laptop, but it's hardly meant to blend iPad and MacBook, which will leave a large segment of Apple fans disappointed.
