In a weird but cool report, Discovery News has revealed that the new MacBook will have a dedicated section on its keyboard which can not only detect human touch; it can also trick the users into thinking and feelings things, which are actually not true.
The previous Apple track pads were only capable to detect pressure when it was applied on them from the bottom and take the action accordingly, but so is not the case with the new MacBook. The new MacBook has sensors on the track pad at all the 4 corners, making it capable to detect pressure from each and every angle.
But what can this mean for the users in lay man terms? For example, the user can control the mouse pointer with the slightest of the slightest touch and will not be required to do any clicking or any dragging of the finger at the track pad. Users can work much faster on the new MacBook, without any lags.
But in this process, the users are bound to feel some bumps and ridges which are actually triggered by the system's electromagnetic motor and the laptop's super intelligent Tactic Engine. So this triggers the feeling of "the MacBook is touching me back". It is just science, nothing else.
The Guardian further points out that the whole track pad is acting like a single giant button in the new MacBook, instead of a number of buttons as seen in the previous version of the MacBook. The new type of "sensation" which this track pad will make is called haptic feedback and in its simplification, it can be described as a virtual action to a physical response.
So don't jump the next time your track pad "taps" you back!
