The best touchscreen MacBook is already on your desk
Macworld Apple rarely arrives first to the party, but it tends to deliver an innovative twist when it eventually catches up to its rivals. AirPods , Face ID , Apple Watch , even the iPhone Duo werent the first of their kind, but they stood out for their leaps in design and functionality. However, as the launch of Apples first touchscreen MacBook Pro just proved, thats not always the case. Commercial touchscreen laptops have been around for almost two decades. Despite that, standard models have remained the default for valid reasons, most notably due to their perfect ergonomics. Instead of perfecting the formula as it usually does, Apple distracted fans with a recycled favoriteslapping on a glowing logo that had been retired a decade ago. What makes the touchscreen MacBook especially baffling is how unnecessary it is. Apple already figured out the touchscreen setup back in 2019, and its been hiding in plain sight all these years. Sidecar attachment Sidecar was released as part of macOS Catalina in 2019. Billed as a way to expand your workspace, it essentially lets you use an iPad as an external wireless display for your Mac. Once its connected via AirPlay, you can drag Mac windows to your iPads screen and interact with them as you would on your Mac. Most controls were previously limited to Apple Pencil or mouse and keyboard input, but with macOS 27, you can use your fingers, too. Theres even a handy Sidebar on the iPad for common controls, like bringing up the on-screen keyboard or returning to the iPads Home screen, along with the Touch Bar that was previously included with certain MacBook models. Sidecar turns your iPad into a wireless external display for your MacBook. Apple Unhinged design Steve Jobs famously opposed touchscreen laptops because after an extended period of time, your arm wants to fall off. When reading early rumors about the touchscreen MacBook, I had expectedor at least hopedApple would do something different by incorporating an innovative hinge mechanism. A convertible form factor would have allowed users to interact with the touchscreen horizontally and easily switch back to the traditional laptop mode whenever needed. Alas, that did not come to fruition. I acknowledge that we shouldnt take everything Steve ever said as gospel because technology evolves, but many of his remarks still hold true today. The main issue with touchscreen laptops has never been weight or thickness, as some Apple execs recently suggested. At no point while using my MacBook does it feel natural for me to extend my arm and touch its display, and most people would probably relate. The new MacBook Pro is no different, and a sturdier hinge and lighter chassis dont resolve the actual problem. Sidecar is a whole different story, however. My iPad is untethered from the MacBooks keyboard, letting me flexibly touch its screen horizontally or otherwise. This allows me to utilize touch input on macOS when the need arises without straining my arm. Its precisely the kind of innovation Apple is generally praised for, and weve already had it for years. Out of touch The MacBook Pro with a PROLED XDR Display caters to professional creatives by letting them interact with macOS apps using their fingers. Yet, curiously, the machine is seemingly incompatible with many of these professional creatives go-to accessory: the Apple Pencil. This bars power users from taking advantage of precise interactions, pressure sensitivity, tilt detection, and all the other perks they cannot achieve with their fingers. Meanwhile, Sidecar on the iPad supports Apple Pencil inputnot to mention that iPadOS can run many desktop-class creative suites natively. So, whether youre Sidecar-ing or using the iPad independently, you get to unlock advanced creation controls and workflows that surpass what you can do with the new MacBook Pro. Beyond functionality, using an Apple Pencil minimizes fingerprints on your display, and creators know all too well how relevant that is. Im far from being a professional photographer, but Im constantly wiping down my 13-inch iPad Pro M4 before editing pictures because color correction and healing blemishes on the pixel level require that kind of clarity. Without Apple Pencil support, the new MacBook Pros display is going to get all smudgy as you attempt to get work done. You dont need a touchscreen MacBook if you already have an iPad. Apple Mac Duo Another advantage for using Sidecar as a separate wireless monitor for your Mac is having two sets of app windows open on each screen simultaneously to work on more complex tasks. Touch Bar enthusiasts will also be delighted to learn that the discontinued MacBook feature lives on through Sidecar. Non-MacBook Pro users, like those with a Mac mini/Studio, MacBook Air, or iMac, will especially appreciate being able to utilize the touchscreen without spending almost $3,000 on a new laptopall thanks to Sidecar. In fact, it might be wiser to buy a Mac mini and an iPad Pro than a touchscreen MacBook Pro. Lets break it down. An M5 Pro Mac mini ($1,699) combined with an iPad Pro M5 ($1,199) costs $2,898a dollar less than the touchscreen MacBook Pro (M5 Pro)s starting price. With this package, youd be getting one of the most advanced tandem OLED panels on the market and two desktop-grade processors instead of one, not to mention Apple Pencil support and far greater versatility. Sidecar gives you the versatility you wont get in a touchscreen MacBook. Foundry Pick a side Ive long depended on Sidecar with my MacBook Air, andunlike the touchscreen MacBook Proit remains a prominent example of Apples classic It just works philosophy. The built-in feature requires absolutely no setup, cables, or technical literacy. Your Mac magically pairs to your nearby iPad and lets you mirror or extend the display wirelessly. Thats the epitome of touchscreen support on a laptop, even surpassing the highly advanced convertibles in terms of practicality and overall user experience. Ultimately, if touchscreen laptops were truly essential, they wouldve evolved meaningfully throughout the past years, and Apple wouldnt have waited this long to release one. Professionals have been using standard laptops for decades just fine, and add-ons like Wacom graphics tablets continue to thrive among digital artists due to their precision and horizontal designs. Steve Jobs once said that people dont know what they want until you show it to them. Apple already showed us the right way to do touch on a Mac with Sidecar, and it shouldnt have caved to market pressure to build the wrong one.

LEGO And Daft Punk Announce Official Alive Tour Pyramid Concert Set
The LEGO Group has officially announced a collaborative partnership with the iconic French electronic music duo Daft Punk , bringing their legendary Alive tour stage into brick form. Originally introduced during their celebrated 2007 tour, the illuminated triangular pyramid is transitioning from a fan-designed concept into an official LEGO Ideas set . The project originated during lockdown when Luxembourg-based LEGO enthusiast Patrick Harboun and his son constructed a miniature model of the concert stage. Their design won the LEGO Ideas Music to Our Ears challenge in 2020 before gathering the necessary 10,000 platform supporters. Following a cryptic teaser broadcast on Daft Punks WDPK 83.7 channel , which featured a red 24 LEGO brick resembling speaker woofers, the collaboration was officially confirmed. https://static.designboom.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/LEGO-group-daft-punk-designboom-01a.mp4 Daft Punk creative director Cdric Hervet noted that the pyramid remains one of the most recognizable components of the duos visual identity. The construction concept features a miniature glowing pyramid stage positioned between two expansive, gridded architectural structures, utilizing colorful elements to recreate the dynamic lighting of the original live performances. A promotional film accompanying the announcement features minifigure versions of the helmeted musicians interacting with a holographic red brick, set to tracks such as Voyager and Human After All. This concert model marks only the first phase of an extensive multi-year partnership between LEGO and Daft Punk. The collaboration will expand into additional content and events throughout 2027 , celebrating the intersection of electronic music and brick-building creativity. While the initial promotional images showcase the original fan submission, the final product design is currently undergoing official development by the LEGO Group . Official pricing, exact piece counts, and a confirmed release date have not yet been disclosed, with further details expected to be revealed as the 2027 launch approaches.

Huawei Enjoy 100 Pro Max Packs an 8,800mAh Battery Into a $300 Phone
Huawei has launched the Enjoy 100 Pro Max in China , a budget phone built around an 8,800mAh battery (8,560mAh rated). Announced on October 28, it starts at $300 (CNY 1,999) for the 8GB + 128GB model, according to Huaweis Enjoy 100 Pro Max product page . The battery is the reason to look at this phone. In Huaweis lab tests, it lasts up to 49 hours of continuous calls, 29 hours of online long video and 24 hours of online short video. Huawei ran those tests in its lab at 26C, with screen brightness at 110 nits and system volume at 11 steps. The video and audiobook tests ran in airplane mode with Wi-Fi connected and GPS, Bluetooth and NFC turned off, so treat them as best-case figures rather than a daily promise. Charging tops out at 40W wired, and Huawei includes a 40W charger in the box. Compared with the Enjoy 90 Pro Max from March, the changes are mostly inside. Battery capacity goes up by 300mAh (from 8,500mAh typical), yet the phone is about 4 grams lighter at roughly 228 g, with identical 163.3 x 78 x 7.98 mm dimensions. The Kirin 8000 processor is replaced by two chips: the Kirin 8020 in the 512GB model and the Kirin 8020A in the 128GB and 256GB versions. Huawei has not explained how the two differ. The company claims up to 62% better overall performance and up to 45% better gaming performance than the Enjoy 90 Pro Max, based on its own tests of the 512GB models running their factory software (HarmonyOS 7 versus HarmonyOS 6), so the gains reflect the new OS as well as the new chip. The 128GB and 256GB models, which use the Kirin 8020A, were not part of that comparison. The phone also ships with HarmonyOS 7 instead of HarmonyOS 6, and moves to NearLink E2.0. The 6.84-inch OLED screen keeps the same FHD+ 27561272 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Huawei quotes an 8,000-nit peak, but that is a lab figure measured at 1% APL, meaning a very small bright area of the screen, not full-screen brightness. The previous models brightness claim was measured under different conditions, so the two numbers are not directly comparable. The phone also supports BeiDou satellite messaging, which can send images and location without a terrestrial signal, while recipients reply with preset messages. It works in mainland China only (not Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan) and must be activated beforehand on a regular network. Elsewhere, the trade-offs are typical of the price: a single 50MP rear camera with no ultrawide, 8GB of RAM on every configuration, USB-C at USB 2.0 speeds and no headphone jack. Huawei says the phone passed the China Quality Certification Centres (CQC) five-star whole-device drop test and earned SGSs five-star gold label for drop resistance.

How macOS Adapts Its Controls for Touch on the New MacBook Pro
Apple announced a new MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display on Wednesday. It's Apple's first Mac with a screen that supports touch, and demonstrations Apple gave to the media show how macOS reshapes its controls for finger input. Menu bar items expand under a fingertip, window controls get bigger, and the Dynamic Island pulls down into a floating widget, amongst other changes. Back in 2016, then-senior VP of marketing Phil Schiller (now Apple Fellow) argued that putting touch on a Mac display would mean totally redesigning the menu bar for fingers something he said would clash with pointer devices. Apple's modern solution, however, is more subtle. The menu bar looks the same, but when you move a finger over a menu item, it expands to let you make a selection with more precision. The same idea applies elsewhere in the macOS interface. For example, the traffic-light buttons that control window size and position also get bigger when you touch them, after which you make your selection with a tap. You can also swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal a hidden Dock. A Pull-Down Dynamic Island Elsewhere, the new MacBook Pro replaces the notch with a Dynamic Island where Spotlight, Live Activities, and Siri AI live. You can pull down on the Dynamic Island to open an expanded version that floats on the screen like a widget, giving you access to Siri responses and Spotlight search. Apple says macOS automatically translates touch into clicks, so many existing apps will work with touch right away no developer updates required. Possible interactions include swiping to scroll a webpage, pinching to zoom in on a photo, dragging and dropping slides between presentations, and double-tapping a window to fill the screen. The foundation has been visible in macOS for months. macOS Golden Gate added iPhone-style pull-to-refresh gestures in apps like Safari, Mail, and Calendar, while code in macOS 27.2 added touch-specific gesture recognition in Safari, Notes, Photos, and Quick Look. Precision Work in Pro Apps It appears that touch isn't just for casual swipes either. Pro application features have also been updated to work with fingers, such as color grading in DaVinci Resolve and tweaking soundtracks in Logic Pro. How well the interactions hold up in daily use is something we'll only be able to judge when the new MacBook Pro arrives in customers' hands. The machines are available to pre-order now, starting at $2,899 for the 14-inch model and $3,399 for the 16-inch model. They officially launch on Friday, November 6.
