In regard to touchscreens on a MacBook, who cares at this point? It's one of those click-baity headlines which adds up to nothing. These laptops are cheap given their category of computing.

The time savings in turning around complex video timelines, or code compiling, or 3D modeling, or what have you, while on the road will (for many professionals) add up very quickly. So from a top-down perspective, these laptops are cheap and will in many cases pay for themselves in a single creative project. These laptops completely blow up the previous processor/value equation for those who need to complete CPU and GPU intensive tasks. In fact, many tasks which before now required a $15k to $20k MacPro tower, and a $5,000.00 Apple monitor to accomplish in any reasonable amount of time can now be finished in your lap, on battery power for less than 20% of the cost of those bigger machines. Seems to me this is an unprecedented capacity leap at this price point.

However, compared with last year's i9 Macbook Pro with 32GB of RAM and the best possible graphics, the new M1 Max comes in about $600.00 LESS than the prior model-and in some real world tests can out compute the more expensive unit by 200% and in compiling Xcode and a few other tasks, more like 700%, AND use HALF the battery power at the same time. The last sentence of the article begins, "They're expensive, yes, but." And looking up from the entry level price of computing, a $3,499.00 standard spec M1 Max may look like a lot of money.

“Touch ID is more convenient on a laptop since your hands are already on the keyboard,” said Tom Boger, Apple VP of Mac and iPad product marketing. While she had Apple on hand to answer design questions, Stern also asked about the lack of Face ID, and here the response was considerably less convincing, given the notch is right there already. So I have a reasonable amount of sympathy for the argument that says “we don’t have a touch screen on the laptop because it’s unnecessary.”
Personally, as the generally happy owner of a Surface Laptop 2 (opens in new tab), I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve used the touchscreen - and most of those have been by accident when I’ve forgotten it’s there.
