What is a computer?
Hot scoop from Mark Gurman at Bloomberg: Apple might be making a touchscreen Mac. Sweet!
Apple once gave 5 reasons why the iPad Pro could be your next “computer.” I’m hoping this time around we get 5 reasons why the touchscreen Mac could be your next tablet. Computers are a flat circle.

If you guess wrong you get a series of clues to help you zero in on the answer. Now excuse me while I weep into my keyboard over the unaffordability of today’s listing.
