- speedgoose 6mo agoDeveloping applications for touch devices is much nicer on a laptop with a touchscreen.
- loloquwowndueo 6mo agoIt’s not something I do. Hence - can I have one without a touchscreen?
- speedgoose 6mo agoI guess not. A touchscreen is cheap anyway, compared to many other components.
- yaksha 6mo agoFramework does sell their parts piecemeal, so if you were inclined once new parts are available, you could put together one to your liking without a touchscreen. Eg - Current Framework 13 bottom stand alone https://frame.work/products/bottom-cover-kit?v=FRANFD0001 https://frame.work/products/bottom-cover-kit?v=FRANFD0001
- tapia 6mo agoTouchscreen is one of those things that sound nice, but in my experience are not so useful. At least not for my typical use (programming, writing, even CAD design). Before having a framework 13 I had a dell xps 13 with touchscreen for about ten years. I never really had a use for it. But hey, the rest of the specs of the screen alone make it still a nice upgrade possibility for the future :)
- internet_points 6mo agoI thought I would never use one either, but whenever I use my SO's laptop with touchscreen, I keep touching the screen for "quick actions" like pausing video or starting apps or moving things around. I don't use it when I need precision, but when I need to just do one thing quickly where I don't need accuracy, I actually find it really handy. But I wouldn't pay (much) extra for it.
