- btgeekboy 10y agoWhen I had a Surface 3 for a short time, I used the touch screen rarely. However, I got into the habit of scrolling by swiping my thumb along the edge of the screen. I think I liked it because it gave me another, more outstretched, position to put my hands in.
- reboog711 10y agoProgrammers have very different requirements for computers than non-techie users. I use the TouchScreen on my SurfaceBook way more than I thought I would--just not for programming.
- r00fus 10y agoMacOS is not designed for touch-based computing. It's interesting that Microsoft's merging of tablet+desktop metaphors might finally be paying off (after 4 years!) - but I can't imagine app support is that good outside 1st party apps. Plus you still have/need a trackpad, right? Where do you find touch to be usable?
- reboog711 10y agoPrimarily I use touch in games; often casual games gotten from the MS store. Or scrolling when web browsing. The writing w/ the Pen in OneNote is great; but I don't use it all that much. Yes; the SurfaceBook still has a trackpad; I don't think a touch screen is a replacement for it.
