I was on a team at a former job and one of our roles was to keep on top of emerging technology - at the time, Acer made a laptop with two screens (Iconia something or other) - one could either use the second screen as a screen or use an on-screen keyboard.

Windows 7 had shit support for touch screen keyboards so that was a problem, but the bigger problem was exactly the one you'd expect - touch typing is basically impossible. Ergonomics are garbage. It's odd that Apple would get a patent for this since I'm sure that the Acer laptop wasn't the only form of prior art.

The touch bar was already an abomination - if they do this, I hope they are ready to start shedding customers even faster.

It's like the Lenovo Yoga Book!

I actually really like using my Yoga Book. Perfect for web browsing, Netflix, and sketching/note taking. I even used it to review and backup footage on a few shoots. My only complaint is the processing power. If they could make a v.2 with a faster CPU, more RAM, and better I/O, I would most likely buy it again.
