Given that the best iPads in the line seem to be becoming more and more like a MacBook with a touchscreen, it could be seen how Apple might never bother to put a touch-sensitive panel on any Macs. This patent could show its intent, however, as it seems as though there may be a future in reach where the best MacBook has a touchscreen.
In a patent reported by Patently Apple, it looks as though there are at least ideas to bring touch screens to Macs, with the inclusion of what Apple calls 'advanced haptics.'
