The internet is buzzing over Apple’s latest invention, the MacBook Wheel. This is a revolutionary laptop that does away with the keyboard. You will have to say goodbye to the keyboard and say hello to the future of laptop computers.
Apple has replaced the keyboard with a sleek touch sensitive click wheel. Apple has said that the MacBook Wheel will make typing a thing of the past. This is such a funny story from the guys over at Onion News Network, they even show us one of these so called new laptops and how the new system works.
The reporter is talking to someone who is supposed to work for Apple, he shows the reporter how the MacBook Wheel works, and we can all see how difficult the system is to type with. The guy from Apple said that everything is a few hundred clicks away.
Watch the video below if you want a laugh.

Cool….. Just eager to know how we can get our text document or can type website urls….
This is the most stupid “revolutionary” concept ever. If the iPod wheel was so awesome why the need for the iPod touch?
Really, it makes me mad that such a stupid product with a stupid concept will sell like water in the desert for millions of Mac fan boys all over the world.
I really hope it’s a fiasco:
1. Anything that takes (and I quote) “anything is a few hundred clicks away” as a good concept is plain wrong and already dated.
2. Things that take screen real estate to make you able to write something is plain stupid and wrong by principle.
3. Won’t even waste my time to mention the other 1000 flaws that this concept has.
Apple time to wake up, you guys didn’t invented the wheel and you guys will certainly not re-invented using cheap concepts as this one.
If this dictates how future computers will be, we are dommed!
My 2 cents.
You’re an idiot. It’s called a joke, dumbass.
Dumbass. ppl cant even take a joke. Steve withoutjobs.. u r a mac idiot!
LOL you are so dumb. do you still wonder why you are unemployed? you don’t even know an obvious joke when you see one.
It’s spelled doomed not dommed!
onion news network is fake and you canit say di(king)on tv
Apple is right!
Who need to write in a world where “every1″ is or is becoming analphabets.
Kudos for Steve and all the Apple team for enhancing that effect

You actually think this is a real laptop? It’s honestly people like you that make jokes like this actually funny…
Lol, you’re right, people that believe it are the ones who make it funny..
This can\’t be real no one in their right mind would buy it for any thing but a DVD player and why do that if you can buy a Portable DVD player for $60.
Some of you really need your heads probed for thinking the Mac Book Wheel is real, have you no humor at all or see the humor?
ha ha “Everything is just a few hundred clicks away” get it?
I want one
45min for an email and 20min of battery that is the best computer in the world. It should have a better price tag, like 50k$, 2k$ is just plain cheap. It will never sell at that price not hype enough
I love the concept “Everything is just few hundred clicks away” :p Well done
Ok maybe not good enough to make programs, but who care, computer doesn’t need to be programmed anymore. I bet their next goal will be a brain attached interface. Da B3$T 4pp£3
omg u seriously think this is real its a onion news video and then if u pay attention he says they are workin on a new version that its lighter BECAUSE IT HAS NO SCREEN,CLICK WHEEL OR BATTERY!!!.
This design is so dumb…I like the wheel, but not as the primary function for the actual labtop.
-Thousands of people are going to hate this product so much that they will actualey buy an external keyboard for it
-I would preper if they kept the current system but added the wheel to the bottom right portion of the macbook (to the left of the touch pad) this would add for the “kick ” that apple is looking for without the problems!
you know this is a fake video and not a real product don’t you?
*to the right of the touch pad
