Touch screens can't (reasonably) be optically coated, because fingerprints on an optically coated screen get very obvious very quickly. Personally, I'm upset enough that they no longer have a matte-screen option. To take away the optical coating so it could be a touch screen might be sufficient to drive me to another laptop. I hate glare, and the trackpad works fine for me; I have no interest in a touch screen.
