At last week's CES 2023 Apple supplier LG showed off a next-gen notebook design based on using Corning Gorilla Glass. One of the cool features of their 'LG Gram' notebook is having no visible trackpad. When a user passes a finger on the trackpad area, lights beneath the glass light up to illustrate the trackpad area as presented in the video clip from Engadget. This is definitely a possible feature for a glass MacBook so as to provide it with a clean design.
With Apple's engineering teams working on a possible future glass MacBook, seeing the LG Gram introduce the hidden trackpad feature just made the likelihood of a future Glass MacBook all that more plausible. It confirmed that glass could be a new emerging trend for PC's and notebooks and that Apple is on top of this trend.
Whether Apple would use a hybrid metal and glass embodiment is unknown at this time, but a next-gen MacBook model with some real innovation in design would be a great addition to the MacBook family.
