That's a deeply misleading answer. Perhaps if you're trying to sell MacBooks you should go work on a Mac store instead of looking on the help Forums deceiving people who come here looking for help. The MacBook does not have a touchscreen. The MacBook does not run iOS apps. OS X is a completely different platform. If you want a touch screen and/or tablet form factor is preferable to you, but need the option to use a mouse when necessary, there is no Apple product for you. To suggest otherwise is a blatant lie.
Please try and assist people who come here for help, not upsell them expensive products that they don't need. This is a support forum. The sales department is a completely separate section of the website.
How is it misleading?
I never claimed it had a touch screen, or that it was capable of running iOS Apps. Nor did i even suggest it at all.
Had I done so I would be in fact lying. Since I did no such thing, I can in turn accuse you of lying about what I said.
All I said is, if you need something with a mouse, to get a MacBook. The MacBook has a mouse. So it is in fact correct to suggest that someone who needs a mouse get a MacBook of some type. Because its the only portable Apple device with a mouse.
If they have other requirements in addition to a mouse, such as a touch screen (though the mouse requirement kind of makes this superfluous) or the ability to run iOS Apps (which can be pretty much entirely covered by the Apps available for the Mac) then there is nothing out there currently that can fill all of them at the same time.
I stand by what I said. If you need a mouse get a Macbook. If you need to run iOS Apps and a touch screen, get an iPad.
If you need all three then yes you are out of luck.
Please try to not write defamatory claims about other people simply because you do not like what they said.
