Someone even made a slabtop with the forsaken Touch Bar, retaining at least one screen on their lap.

The idea that plenty of people beat me to it also didn’t hurt: it’s been trending on Twitter and discussed on Reddit ever since that patent was published.

Look, I’m not crazy - I don’t go around looking at laptops and wondering how they would look with their heads chopped off, but I’ve probably replaced over a hundred display clamshells during my time as an Apple “Genius,” and I’m comfortable with it. I must say, I was a bit smitten by the raw performance Apple was promising and began slapping my wallet nervously in my palm - but instead of choosing consumerism, I chose violence. Rumor had it we would see a Mac like this at Apple’s event last week, but instead, we got the externally boring but actually amazing new Mac Studio. What inspired me to decapitate my Mac was Apple’s patent published last month for a Mac embedded inside a keyboard, and the word that China has already turned this idea into a cottage industry.

It sounds silly, but I swear a slabtop is more fun to use than a laptop. Photo by © Roger Ressmeyer/CORBIS/VCG via Getty Images
