Apple to put a dynamic, transforming e-ink keyboard in the 2018 MacBook | TechRadar http://www.techradar.com/news/apple-to- ... 18-macbookThat's a great idea, and will presumably save them a fortune eventually with regards to regionalisation (if that's a word). _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

It is; and I'm somewhat surprised that some keyboard supplier like Cherry hasn't come up with this before - though knowing Apple, it wouldn't surprise me if they have.

e-Ink really doesn't feel right for Apple. It flickers, which is probably enough to them off. They are more likely to further develop their haptic engine and use an iPad like screen for a keyboard.

I've been thinking about this for a while, and whilst I use my iPad quite a lot, I don't think I'd like typing on a hard piece of glass for anything other than short bursts. I'd certainly not be overjoyed if physical keys on a laptop got replaced by an iPad-like screen. The idea of bashing my fingers down on a sheet of glass for an extended period of time does not fill me with hope for future use of laptops/computers. Mark

Seriously though look at the amount of money Apple makes every quarter? Do you really think they're thinking 'hey, we can make an extra five dollars on our 1700 dollar laptops..' The idea Apple design stuff thinking about the razor blade model is patently false, since nobody charges what they do for a 'razor' in the first place.

Considering what they often charge for a '£1-2 cable', I just don't know either way. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:
