What can be better for a lover of Apple products than a new iPhone model? Well... a series of iMacs and Macbooks with touchscreen! Yes, you read that right, little company Troll Touch announced that it will soon sell a whole series of Imac and Macbook models equipped with a resistive touchscreen. Don't you wish you could use your Mac just like an iPhone? With a simple touch, can it fulfill everything you would ask of it and with a characteristic speed? Well... in theory things sound very nice, but think about the time spent clicking on the screen and the pains that will follow, especially for those who actually use the Mac for serious things, not for fun.
