Yes, and to expand, touch is actually a worse interface, period. The lack of any and all physical feedback on touch makes it unsatisfying to use, and error-prone. From a human-computer interface perspective, it's a downgrade. We take the downgrade with phones because the tradeoff is worth it for size. For laptops, that tradeoff is different: we already have a keyboard and display, and the size of the computer is fairly large already. I mean, we've seen those laptops with both touchscreens and a keyboard. How often are people preferring and using the on-screen keyboard as opposed to the physical one? From what I've seen and experienced, almost never. Which makes sense, it's a worse interface. We also see this same problem in cars, and it's actually much worse there. On-screen buttons are a pain in the ass, and with cars we don't have the luxury of searching with our eyes. I have friends with fancy cars with touch everything. You know what they do? They just never adjust the AC while driving, because they can't. That's insane to me, but they put up with it. If car manufacturers would just test these interfaces on a few thousand miles of driving, they would realize they suck.
