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.
it’s not an antifeature (trivial to disable) so i’m ok with it.
my laptop has an extremely shitty trackpad that sometimes decides to stop functioning until a power cycle, so i have the touchscreen configured to work like a trackpad with xf86 mtrack driver and use it when my trackpad fucks up.
It’s convenient when there’s no mouse. Moving around on a trackpad can be slow and annoying. But not super necessary for me.
Every screen should be a touchscreen. We have kids growing up with touchscreen devices who then have to learn not all screens respond to touch even though it’s showing the same stuff. And it’s not just content but apps too. Microsoft has been pushing touchscreen PCs for years, trying to convince developers to build for them, bringing in support for Android apps. Apple waits years to ship a touchscreen on a MacBook that can run every iPhone and iPad app natively.
Yes please.
I despise touchpads on laptops.
Happens more than once I touch the screen instinctively.
A mouse makes it bearable at least.I mean, it sounds like a good feature on paper, and it’s perfectly doable. Tablets have add-on keyboards, old phones had slide out keyboards, so touchscreens + keyboards IS a thing.
But, touchscreens on laptops? Nope. People don’t want that.
I won’t buy a laptop without it any more.
I don’t really need it most of the time, but I miss it when I don’t have it.
Same. I usually only use it when I’m clicking abutton on a webpage and it is faster than moving the mouse there
I only ever use touchscreen in tablet mode, and I’m only ever in tablet mode if I’m reading comics while eating lunch. Without a tablet mode, I find it pointless on laptops because I can be more efficient with keyboard and mouse/trackpad.
I use it for drawing
I find it more convenient on the train, than fumbling with touchpad or the mouse on my knee. It even beats the keyboard nipple. And using Niri with it is a joy.
I habe a Framework 12. I habe not used the Touchscreen in Laptop mode once. I use it in Tablet mode to read sheet music, but even then I usually have a little Bluetooth Keyboard/Trackpad combo that I use.
I don’t really see the point in touchscreens, I think it’s just a toy for a lot of money, like folding phones.only if you know exactly why you need it, then it’s OK, but most people will just use this feature and stop, because I don’t even know how convenient it is to draw in it, and whether it will damage the screen for a long time.
first of all, my fat fingers would never be able to select a cell. second of all, my old collegues were always poking my screen when they tried to show me something, and moved everything around. i ran to the it dude after the 3rd poke accident if i could disable the touchscreen somehow in device manager…he is like: dude i couldnt care less what you do with that laptop, just disable it in the bios, its easier.
I had a touch screen laptop for work at my previous job. I figured it out by accident after using for 4 years without noticing. I though “huh, that’s cool. This could be useful”, and then never actually used it for anything. I rate it a “meh” out of 10.
If the laptop comes with a touchscreen, great! But I’m not going out of my way to get one.
There are a lot of touchscreen Thinkpads out there
I hate touch screens on laptops.
