You're envisioning using a touchscreen device much like you'd use your smartphone which is flawed to say the least. Having used a touchscreen laptop for the last 6+ years, I assure you there's a place for touch in laptops. The arguments against touch on a laptop are much like arguing against any other peripheral used.
> Try reaching your hand up to touch your monitor and hold it there for a minute. Now try pretending you’ll do this for an 8 hour workday.
This is asinine and you know it. That's akin to arguing that we shouldn't use mice or touchpads by saying "just try typing with an onscreen keyboard all day using point and click."
- vinni2 6y agoAll my touch needs in laptop are satisfied by the track pad. I have Apple Magic Trackpad instead of a mouse. I never felt need for a mouse or touching my screen.
- cptskippy 6y agoPeople said similar things about mice, scroll wheels, and trackpads.
- igornadj 6y ago>This is asinine and you know it Why do you think we use mice and keyboards instead of touchscreens for serious work? Gorilla arm syndrome has been known since the Apple 1.
- cptskippy 6y agoWe originally just used keyboards, the mouse was introduced as the technology evolved. The mouse didn't display the keyboard. The same thing is happening now and touchscreens will not display the keyboard or mouse, they will compliment them just as the mouse did the keyboard. "Serious work" is determined by the value it provides, not the way it's produced.
