Apple unveiled a new laptop with no keyboard yesterday. Can you think of a laptop without a keyboard? Well, that is hard to imagine for sure. Having said that, Apple has gone ahead with its innovative range of products to introduce the ‘MacBook Wheel’. Take a look at this video to know more about this product.
This is an innovative new laptop with a touch-sensitive click wheel instead of a traditional keyboard. So, Apple’s latest laptop has killed the keyboard that we use to key in data. Yup, no keyboard!
This MacBook Click wheel is a sleek touch sensitive IO device, very much like the one found on iPods, and thus the MacBook Wheel will make typing a thing of the past. Looking at this video, I can’t predict how much difficult it would be to use this gadget! You need to wait for at least 3 months to buy this MacBook and be prepared to shell out a minimum of US $2600 to get rid of your keyboard :)
Excited after reading the hi-tech gadget? Well, all that you have read and seen in that video is for fun and there is no such real thing call MacBook wheel :-p Well, even I thought apple released something totally unheard of until now. My imagination started wondering how they could’ve made something so exotic and futuristic work until I really pulled up my socks to find out what this ‘theonion.com’ is all about. Anyways April 1st isn’t too far.. just that some people have started playing pranks already!

I think this is a definite drawback for those people who can type. A “keyboardless” computer is like a car without a steering wheel. Is Apple sucking up to iPod users?
It took me all of 30 seconds to type the above paragraph, THINK Steve Jobs! Who in the hell wants a machine that takes 5 – 10 minutes to type a paragraph like that? I’ve been using Macs since they came out, having gone through every model there is…but, if Jobs does away with the keyboard, I’m switching to a PC!
