Adding the battery ended up making it a bit chonky? (actually no matter how you ask CGPT to generate a current iMac with a handle it wants to make it thicc... guess it has that preference)...
Got a tip for us?

You’re extremely confused, and completely wrong. Somehow you are tragically unaware of the fact that none of the things you think Apple has prioritized could even exist without the Mac continuing to exist.
None of that is accurate. I’m not wrong. You’re just committed to an Apple that no longer actually exists.
LMAO. The Mac creates every other product, and everything that runs on every other product. Fact. Not up for debate. Not subject your conversation-manipulation or flame baiting.
I said "iOS derivative"
Everything since the iPhone down to the OS in HomePods, AirPods and Apple Studio Display is an iOS derivative.

My point stands. The Mac is not Apple’s core business. They make more money on iOS variants. There’s a reason iPads don’t run a MacOS variant. The reason is money.
That's the 4th or 5th modified version of your point up until now, but it's getting closer to something true. Yes, they make the majority of their money on devices that run human-accessible operating systems ...iPhone. iPhone stands alone as a larger business than the rest of the entire company. Mac by the way makes slightly more money than iPad, and has since inception.
I haven’t changed my point at all. Apple isn’t focused on MacOS. I’m sure they’d be happy to eliminate it on all but the Mac Pro, the Studio and the Mini.
While not a revolutionary thought... It wasn't long after iPad first landed that I began to imagine a potential where Apple could be headed toward an all-screen MacBook. It was iPad's keyboard that started me down that line of thinking. While I HATE typing on iPad keyboards, I imagined some type of key-specific haptics might make it more tolerable. Those thoughts mostly lay dormant until TouchBar landed. At the time, I saw TB as Apple's toe-dip into what seemed an inevitable all-screen MacBook. But a vocal niche, in a handful of tech forums, felt otherwise. And Apple, in as uncharacteristic a move as I can recall from them, retreated. Pre-Tim Apple would never have succumbed to the opinions of anyone outside of Apple (for better or worse). Instead, they would double down on executing their vision (also for better or worse). That unconventional, intuitive, soulful approach fostered a more exciting, innovative Apple (IMO). I'm reminded of that unsubstantiated Henry Ford quote...
"If I asked the customer what they wanted, they'd say faster horse."
Regardless of whether or not he said those words, I always felt that sentiment represented Apple at its best: showing us what we didn't know we needed. I haven't felt that way since maybe Apple Watch? But this is all the inexorable nature of corporate growth. While a smaller company - with less to lose - has to take more risks to compete, larger companies - with more to lose - are, by default, more calculating in their decisions. More conservative. The tricky part is sometimes, you can't calculate your way to innovation. Innovation is part science, part art, part black magic, part right place at the right time-ism. Sadly, Apple has grown too adult for black magic. They have shareholders to appease instead.
All that said... An all-screen MacBook still makes sense. And if it does see the light of day, tech forums will explode. It'll be interesting to see how Apple reacts this time around.

...like adding a touch screen to the Macbook Pro and making it compatible with the existing Apple Pencil for 1/3 of the price of a foldable screen?
Not very ergonomic to try to draw on a laptop screen. Also for many in the field price isn’t an issue. It’s a business expense.
which one of you has been asking Tim “you know I wish my MacBook Pro screen would bend more!”
What benefit besides a bit bigger screen is this offering?
Make a foldable iPad instead - a 20’inch that can fold into a mini!

Much appreciated, thank you!
I even have the same chipset config/generation as you and as such I don’t have to do any further research on resolution support, power delivery, etc so that was all very helpful info you provided 😁
