As someone who owned the Surface Pro 1,2,3, Book, Book Performance Base, Book 2 and now has an Intel MacBook...I would love it if Apple did this.
Microsoft is utterly clueless with the Surface line. The Surfaces are all under-spec'd and over-priced and they've never bothered to advance their pen tech.
I bought an iPad Pro and the pencil is just great. It just works.
Give me a MacBook where I can rotate the screen like a Lenovo Yoga and turn it flat and use a pen and I'll pay whatever for it.

Personally Id say one of the only things surface has done effectively is advance their pen tech, have you seen what they've done with the new all-in-one surface studio 2+? Overpriced by 3-4x but undeniably a pretty cool and decently high quality design device.

Yeah that studio is awesome. If they'd released it five years ago.
It should be a monitor.

Oh yeah all the features that make it special are 100% in the screen, like I said it's crazy overpriced and not worth it, but I just think it has a couple neat things about it. I had heard that something with the screen had increased that they could do with the tilt angle of their styluses which I was interested to hear more about, that was the day they were announced though so I may be misremembering.

It's incredible and I know tons of people that would buy them if they were a monitor and not a $5k PC that will age.
I still use 30" monitors from 2008 that are not 4k but better than 1080p. A monitor should last a decade.
