Have you ever used a laptop with touchscreen? It's not that your touching it all the time. You really miss it when you're switching between touch and non-touch

Have you ever used a laptop with touchscreen? It's not that your touching it all the time.
You really miss it when you're switching between touch and non-touchscreens. You can't help but pointing at the screen only to realize: "Damn, this is not a touchscreen".
It's like that saying: Once you go touch, you never go back.
- ctolkien 10y agoI've a SurfaceBook, I didn't think I'd use the touchscreen at all when in regular "laptop" mode. I end up using it _all the time_. It really is super intuitive to just reach up and touch the screen.

- exergy 10y agoI've a feeling you're in the minority though. It's not that touch becomes the main method of interacting with Windows. It's that it becomes convenient for some things, particularly scrolling.
- Eridrus 10y agoI have a laptop/tablet hybrid. Sadly it weighs too much for me to actually want to use it as a tablet. So I never use the touch screen, I have a wireless mouse that I use to scroll. Being touch is mostly annoying when people point at my screen and click things. I still think the surface book is cool, but the weight factor is probably my biggest concern for the tablet mode.
