- shanselman 14y agoI have a CR-48 that my mother in law uses for Email. It's a browser, and a slow one. I will mention it but my premise is that touch is essential.
- RexRollman 14y agoNo, it is not, unless dirty, finger print covered screens is your thing.
- josteink 14y agoI will mention it but my premise is that touch is essential. Not to come off the wrong way, but in this case I think you are the only one holding on to this definition. For Chromebooks and Ultrabooks, the promise was to have a light, portable device with good battery time, mainly inteded to provide internet-access. With Ultrabooks, decent requirements for CPU, RAM and storage gets added. Both has a requirement for being "reasonably cheap" given what is offered (for instance sub $1000 for an Ultrabook) Intel, the ones "launching" the Ultrabook, has never once mentioned touch when they tried to sell the concept to PC-vendors.
