JAKARTA - Apple's MacBook is still the choice of superior devices, especially if it weren't for the technology. Although the price offered by this device is not cheap. However, a technology patent that the company just registered shows, Apple seems to want to remove the trackpad from their laptops.

Ubergizmo proclaimed on Monday, August 23, Apple will not make a laptop completely wrapped with a screen instead of a trackpad.

However, the company had the idea of using one of the keyboard keys on their MacBook laptop instead of a trackpad. Where the keyboard will be equipped with keys that can be removed and can be used as a trackpad.

Apple has reportedly filed a patent for something called a Deployable Key Mouse. The patent leak explains that the keyboard can have a key-cap that can be removed and used as a mouse.

That is, in normal use, the key will function as part of the keyboard. However, users can easily turn that special key into a cursor controller for precise movement.

However, there has been no leak of when Apple will embed the Deployable Key Mouse into their MacBook devices. The effectiveness of the device is still questioned by most parties, considering the device has a relatively small size.
