it house reported on october 3 that apple has now obtained an appearance patent, which shows that the company is expected to launch a macbook air notebook with a glass casing in the future.

according to reports, this patent shows a product shell that provides i/o functions, which means that users can use the "shell" to interact with the notebook, suggesting that the future macbook air is expected to adopt a glass keyboard (typing on the glass plate).

according to it house reports in march this year, apple has also applied for a patent for a glass-cased imac, which means that the company is trying to apply glass material to its own product line.

while the all-glass macbook air and imac concept sounds luxurious, it's clear that the idea is more suited as a proof of concept than an actual product on the market.

the most obvious disadvantage of any glass technology product is fragility, but if apple manages to solve the problem of glass strength, considering that the macbook now adopts a passive cooling design, using this design can make the notebook more resistant to water and dust. protruding, it can effectively seal/protect the internal components of the notebook.
