Sure,
the new MacBook Pro has that fancy Touch Bar, but some Apple laptop owners long
for a machine with a full touchscreen display. A company called AirBar already
gave the PC faithful a USB accessory that gives a 15.6-inch screen a more
tactile function and now at CES it's doing the same for the 13.3-inch MacBook
Air. The company calls the device "plug-and-touch," which means you
don't have to worry about futzing with drivers before you can use the gadget.
The installation process involves putting a couple magnets on
the laptop to hold the AirBar in place. Once that's done, all you have to do it
plug it into a USB port and the device emits a light field over the display to
pick up you touch navigation, pinch-to-zoom and scrolling gestures. Of course,
you'll have to remove it to completely close your laptop, but the addition of
touch with a relatively painless install process makes a solid case for the
add-on.
