Apple senior vice president of software engineering, Craig Federighi said that introducing Macbooks with touch screens is something Apple has no plans to do.

Federighi said that they don't think it's the right interface, honestly, Mac is sort of a sit-down experience.

He added that it's awkward and uncomfortable to sit at a desk and continuously reach forward to touch a computer screen. It's not like an iPad or iPhone that you hold in your hands and use in a very relaxed position, CNET reported.

He further added that they've really focused on building the best track pads we can, something where it feels your posture's relaxed, it's a comfortable machine to use, and of course, over the years we've experimented with all the technology, but we found it just wasn't good. We're not all that interested in building one.
