>lack of touchscreen.

Please god no.




Touchscreens are my personal nemesis, too. I have literally no scenario where I’d like to lift my hand from the keyboard or touchpad to put my finger on my screen to click something. Maybe it’s a thing with other use cases though. I think the new Microsoft Studio Laptop does it in a reasonable way since you can fold it and use a pen and all. Still not for me but with foldable devices I get it at least.


I actually go against the grain here and say I like touchscreens.

Being able to draw on screenshots with my finger (I that a lot for work) is really nice.

At least it has the killer feature of having the ability to be completely ignored, unlike other "trendy" features on new laptops :)

Also, I can never find a good use case for the folding tablet modes.

Maybe it's because I'm not an artist, and don't my computer much for pure media consumption, but almost everything on the computer is designed around having a keyboard.

I find it silly to type on a software keyboard 5x slower than the keyboard already attached to the device.
