Lenovo Yoga 9n Stylus Features Highlighted Ahead of Touchscreen MacBook Rumors
A review of the Lenovo Yoga 9n highlights stylus integration features that may inform expectations for a rumored upcoming touchscreen MacBook.
The long-rumored touchscreen MacBook might be announced next week. In the interim, a review of the Lenovo Yoga 9n for Nvidia's RTX Spark platform offers a look at current stylus implementation in convertible laptops. The device includes a magnetic stylus that works on both the OLED display and the haptic trackpad. The stylus can attach to the laptop lid or be housed in its case and relies on USB-C charging.
The author of the review notes that using desktop operating systems like Windows with a finger or stylus can get clunky. This observation contrasts with the expected experience of a touchscreen MacBook Pro, which is anticipated to support the Apple Pencil. The author hopes the Apple Pencil will attach to the laptop for convenience and wireless charging. Additionally, the author expects macOS 27 to update to Golden Gate to make touch functions feel more natural.
The review also touches on broader industry context, noting that the butterfly keyboard fiasco occurred not long ago. The author finds the lack of apps in HomeView perplexing and describes the iPhone Duo as a little messy. The touchscreen MacBook Pro is expected to be expensive.
