ZONEofTECH's “MacBook Studio” raises the touchscreen question
The Apple rumor roundup has viewers separating the redesign they want from the touch controls they could do without.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 58,437 views a day, 5.7 times a normal first day on this channel (10,313).
The MacBook Studio
A lighter MacBook Pro sounds appealing to several ZONEofTECH viewers. Reaching up to touch its screen is another matter. That distinction runs through the comments beneath “The MacBook Studio,” which has drawn roughly 38,000 views in its first 11 hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day audience.
The video explores reports and leaks about an OLED MacBook Pro redesign, rather than an announced Apple product. ZONEofTECH's description lays out possibilities including a lighter body, a Dynamic Island, cellular connectivity and touchscreen controls. It also weighs the Pro and Ultra names, while the title offers another option: Studio.
Viewers are discussing more than the branding. Some want the lighter design without touch; another compares the proposed combination of OLED, cellular connectivity and a touchscreen to an iPad Pro with a keyboard. One suggests touchless gestures instead, imagining a laptop controlled more like a Vision Pro.
This is the dedicated MacBook follow-up promised in ZONEofTECH's earlier October-event roundup. Where that upload ranged across home devices, tablets and computers, this one narrows the discussion to a laptop redesign, its possible price and where it might fit in Apple's lineup.

What viewers say
The name MacBook studio sounds way better than MacBook ultra
@software93See it on YouTubeThe new design is welcome. But I definitely prefer the new design without the touch feature.
@crimsongold5535See it on YouTubeBe cool if Apple used radar similar to pixel 4 to make a touchless touchscreen. Kind of like a Vision Pro gesture support for MacBook Pro. Pinch to zoom. Multitask management. Closing programs/pages. Easy access to favorite apps/folders.

My M1 Pro MBP has been begging for an upgrade. Finally going to do it (I think).
@barcmtSee it on YouTubeI'm wondering if it'll get an M6 base model option. I'm almost more interested in that than the M5 Pro or Max.
