Apple-logo.jpgA patent filed by Apple called “Transitioning between Modes of Input” seems to suggest that the kings of Cupertino are working on a touchscreen iMac.

The iMac Touch (as it will inevitable be known should it ever see the light of day) would be an all-in-one machine, housing both the screen and processing units in one case. The system would be dual booting, likely running both OS X for mouse-based input and iOS for finger-friendly controls.

Sitting on an iMac “Flex Base”, the touchscreen could be activated in two ways, either by activating pressure sensors on either side of the screen, or by angling the screen until it entered the touch-sensitive “Slant Mode”.

A touchscreen Macbook is also detailed, with a swivelling screen that would fold down into a tablet-like form factor.

Scroll down for some images from the patent that give a taste of what may be lurking deep in Apple’s test labs.

    The LCD screen review from http://www.nbkit.com
    14″ LCD screen is very pupular in year 2009 and 2010,. In past 5 years , 14.1 is classical and brilliant , but in today, 14.0 replaced her. Compare to 14.1″ CCFL backlight, 1280x 800 resolution, big weight, big consumption 14.0 ” LCD Screen has LED back light, slim and light, 1366×768 resolution and low consumption. And the more important , from 14.1 to 14″ perhaps only this 0.1″ , just the 0.1″ save many cost for laptop manufactures… 14″ laptop for man or women, not heavy and easy to travel and perfect display effect. inevitable it take up 35% seat at laptop market.
