They'll say it sucks ass, and they'll be right.
Touchscreen computers have failed for a reason.
Then again... so did "transparent" UI, which Apple just exhumed.

She always defaults to trying to swipe the screen instead of going to the mouse. > Touchscreen computers have failed for a reason. The only people who think touch screens have failed are people who actually use computers, and we are a tiny minority of the population these days. The majority of people live on touchscreen devices already.
- kjkjadksj 6mo agoYour wife actually swipes at a non touch screen thinking it is a touch screen?
- satvikpendem 6mo agoSome people actually do do that, yes. It's a force of habit especially if they have another touch screen computer.

- satvikpendem 6mo agoAverage users won't, like the sibling comment notes, and that's who Apple generally targets; only power users complain. And not sure where you are getting the idea that touchscreen computers failed, many models with touchscreens have great sales figures, Surface for one notable example, Lenovo's for another.
- VerifiedReports 6mo agoThe Surface is a tablet. I don't know one person who has a touchscreen computer. It's a dumb way to work: not only impractical because your finger is too crude of a pointing device and your hand blocks your view of what you're trying to manipulate, but also uncomfortable to wave your arms around in front of you all day... pushing the lid of your laptop away to boot.
- satvikpendem 6mo agoThe Surface is a computer. Just because you don't like touchscreens doesn't mean other people don't.
- speedster217 6mo agoI have a touchscreen laptop and I love it. Mainly for stuff like quickly moving windows or highlighting. But also I'm shocked Slay the Spire 2 on KDE is just working perfectly with the touch screen. Card games feel pretty natural with touch screens.
