In a recent development, Apple has been granted a patent that hints at an exciting addition to their MacBook lineup. The patent, titled 'Mountable tool computer input,' reveals plans to incorporate a stylus, potentially a variation of the Apple Pencil, into future MacBook models. While not confirmed as a guaranteed feature, this has sparked speculation about a possible touchscreen MacBook.
The patent describes a holder for the stylus positioned above the keyboard's number keys, providing convenient and easy access to the stylus for users. Interestingly, the documents also mention the possibility of a display on the stylus itself, which would function like the MacBook's departed Touch Bar. This means users could interact with controls on the stylus in a way that emulates the functionality of physical keys.
