That touch screen Mac idea may never have made it to the Apple brain storming sessions, but that never stops designers from creating concepts of products that they would like to see Apple make, or think would prove popular in the marketplace.

We have seen iPhone and iPad concepts, and now it’s the turn of the conceptual MacBook Touch, which you can see showcased in all its entirety in the embedded video.

The concept should appeal to those individuals who still crave to have a physical keyboard on their devices, but who always want the versatility that the iPad brings to the table.

I should imagine that the MacBook Touch concept is more a showcase of the designer’s skills rather than an attempt at actually creating a mockup that they believe could hold some relevance in the real world.

The usability of such a device is pretty much non-existent, and although I actually think it looks like an attractive piece of kit, I think I’ll stick to my individual iPad and MacBook for the foreseeable future.
