What use is TOUCH on a laptop screen
Hi there
I see more and more laptops are being sold now with Touch enabled screens -- Now using a laptop in the Classical position I.e with the screen at RIGHT ANGLES (Vertically) to the desk what possible use is touch.
Now if it has a detachable screen or can work in Tablet mode (as a convertible) that's fine but as a standard laptop -- what would you USE the touch facility for even if you were running Windows 8.
Touch is fine on accessory devices such as drawing devices which you would have placed HORIZONTALLY on your desk or if you were using "Electronic Drawing table" type devices - but on a bog standard laptop screen. But on a standard Laptop. ?? - Maybe on a Train / Plane if you were using the computer as an e-book reader - but if you just wanted to read would you be using a computer anyway -- e-readers are ridiculously cheap now.
All it does is just push up the price of the laptop for NO BENEFIT WHATSOEVER.
Am curious - anybody here got a laptop with Touch - and what are they actually using touch for.
Cheers
