I had a touchscreen laptop in one work environment, and like others, very rarely used the touch interface. It's actually surprisingly tiring to use for more than touching a button or scrolling, and I only use it for that over a mouse if I wasn't at the keyboard (if I was off to the side writing in a notebook or something). I have certainly never missed having the feature. I think this project is cool but it looks like a lot of annoyances compared to just having a macbook plus ipad, and doesn't really seem more portable than a normal macbook plus ipad.

It's surprising how often people advocate for interfaces that require more muscle movement to do the same thing. I regularly use a pen display for drawing, and even with a tool that is more precise than finger touch input and optimized ergonomically for long art sessions I still regularly switch back to a mouse or even laptop touchpad when interacting with anything outside of a purpose-built art program.
