  1. I think the laptop itself looks sleek and sharp, which is always an attention grabber now that everything is becoming modern. I also think that because most people are moving to smartphones, which happen to be touch screen, will be a successful product. There are already touch screen computers so the next step are laptops. I have a MacBook Pro and I love it but i wouldn't mind it being touch screen at times.

  2. I agree! The laptop looks really nice and thin which is attractive to many buyers. However personally I don't really care for a touch screen. Id rather just use my keyboard. The laptop is expensive too and I think thats because of the touch screen feature! So personally I don't think many people will want to buy this product because not many people will want to pay that much, care for the touch screen feature, and won't want to buy a laptop that isn't a mac.

  3. The laptop is defiantly sleek looking, but if I wanted a touch screen I would buy a $400.00 IPad, and then pay an extra 50 bucks for the connectable keyboard, which would save me a ton of money. Also no offense to any of the other brands on the market, but the laptop is not a Mac. Macs are probably one of the best computers out there to buy without a doubt, considering they are fast, the firewall has yet to be broken, and has the option of weighing less than four pounds. The laptop is a cool invention, but I think there needs to be some changes such as the prices, and better market advertising since there are products like this already out there.
