I would deny you that a surface that’s designed to tilt when touched and collects fingerprints as if that’s its primary function is anything but abominable. Let alone the models that are designed to operate with a keyboard and touchpad facing down and making contact with whatever surface they’re resting on!
Joke’s on you: I lay on my bed, bring up my knees, use my laptop on my waist while leaning against my legs, and touch the screen as needed when I can’t navigate by keyboard.
I can’t possibly do that with a non-touchscreen laptop anywhere near as easily.
Granted, that’s probably it’s only decent use case, but even so, for various, occasional operations, the touch capability is helpful.
Touchscreen laptops, and by extension “two-in-one” laptops, are an absolute abomination of a form factor that should not exist.
Mostly agree, but my thinkpad x220t with the full spin and flip screen and stylus is just fun to use!!
they are convenient for me. woulds your deny me this?
