Personally, I hate it. Most of my laptops are non touch: thinkpads, dells. .Even when ram price drops and i could afford the Framework, i would only go for the non pro 13 version. For the ones that came with touchscreen, I disabled it if i can.

Touchscreen just doesnt work for me on a laptop. If i want a touchscreen then i use my tablet or phone.

    It’s only useful if the laptop is convertible (screen can flip all the way around & become like a heavy tablet). Particularly useful when I need to run something Android-based. I don’t see the point in a touchscreen you have to reach out over the keyboard to use.

      Even then, it’s only useful when you are using a program that doesn’t need the keyboard, and only if you don’t need to use any other programs at the time.

      For example, if you are in class and you want to take notes, a separate tablet works a lot better than folding the laptop.

        i find it pretty great for idly browsing the internet or otherwise passively consuming content, like you’d do on a phone. they can do well with notes if you don’t mind mixing typed and written notes.
