Personally, I hate it. Most of my laptops are non touch: thinkpads, dells. .Even when ram price drops and i could afford the Framework, i would only go for the non pro 13 version. For the ones that came with touchscreen, I disabled it if i can.
Touchscreen just doesnt work for me on a laptop. If i want a touchscreen then i use my tablet or phone.
Touchscreens have their use on other devices but are a gimmick on laptops. Reaching up and over your keyboard, suspending your arm in the air while you tap on a thin, wobbly display is an ergonomic disaster and a shite input method in general.
Now if the screen can flip around into a tablet position then it makes a lot more sense, but just a touchscreen on its own is a gimmick.
Depends what you do with it obviously. Lighting software like Chamsys or Grand MA screams for touchscreen. For work I also need a Mac, and I stupidly hit the screen all the time.
If you’re not into graphics / art design enough to have a separate wacom tablet, again it is useful in a pinch.
There’s no “it’s good!” no “it’s bad!”, it is just a matter of how useful it is for you. I don’t know on windows, but with Gnome touchscreens work very well.
If you have to reach out to a screen to touch it, you’re at risk of developing Gorilla Arms, a RMI.
Laptops are hell on your spine. Seriously reconsider.
Never understood touchscreen on laptop. I can imagine artists might need this in some workflows but I doubt they’d use shitty touchscreen instead of specialized tools like stylus or dedicated device. But for everyone else idk when do you even want to use them.
It a nice toy.but not having a touchscreen on a laptop is not a deal-breaker for me, other than low-resolution screens (everything below roughly 200 DPI).
I like those for very bad laptops, like when the touchpad is buggy I can still use the touchscreen
