what prevents apple relasing new macbook without keyboard

[aqarwaen29]

so why cant apple do it and use this excuse to make macbooks even more thinner.

i mean they could just remove keyboard and make addional purchase and after that you can attach it using usb port connection or Bluetooth connection.

what is ur take,should apple start removing keyboards from macbook,in order to make them even more thinner

It could have a touchscreen or a touch pad, with an OS optimized for touch.

 

They could call it an iPad

I'm sure the line between "Macbook" and "iPad Pro" is going to get even blurrier as time goes on.

 

It wouldn't surprise me if the first version of MacOS that drops Intel support gets folded together with iPadOS and rebranded to something like "Apple OS" for Macs and the iPad Pro. Apple Silicon Macs can already run some iOS/iPadOS apps. They'd have to get the "traditional desktop" and "tablet" modes better integrated than anyone else has been able to so far, but it's possible.

Well the main reason is because people want to have a reliable keyboard,trackpad,monitor in an all in one package. Without all those things people wouldnt buy the product. Just because the computer itself is just a CPU with some RAM and I/O doesnt mean a customer only wants those few things. You literally are describing the mac Studio and Mac Mini, which are just the laptops without the keyboard or monitor!! they made it super extra small and thin!
