Touchscreen MacBook live blog: On the ground at Apple’s launch event

Apple has already had a busy week. On Monday, it announced a new iPad Mini with an upgraded OLED display, and on Tuesday, we got M6 chip upgrades for the MacBook Pro and iMac. The Macs are the definition of iterative updates — they’re quiet refreshes that look just like their direct predecessors. But today should be a whole lot more interesting.

At an event in Los Angeles, Apple is expected to debut a revamped MacBook Pro with a touchscreen display. This would be the first touchscreen on a Mac (not counting the beleaguered Touch Bar). Touchscreen laptops are something Apple executives have criticized for about as long as the iPad has existed.
