So, no touchscreens still? They really don't want their iPad sales to slump.

Why would you want a touch screen on a laptop. That sounds awful.

To each their own, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't popular

It definitely says nothing about its popularity. What does say something about it is that no one I've ever met with a touchscreen laptop has ever said anything positive about the touchscreen.

It's not. Virtually every other brand gives you the option.

I've only seen people with touchscreen laptops because I recognized them as such, not because they were used as such. I don't know anyone that touches a screen unless they have to.

Had one for years, never used it. Completely pointless feature to me.

My Samsung laptop is a 2 in 1 so I can flip it over and take notes with a pen or flip it back and type. It's really useful for school.
Many artists like the ability to draw on the machine they edit on. I know a few who stay with Windows laptops for that reason.
I also know a lot of older people who like having the option to use a touchscreen for daily use but still like having an attached keyboard and desktop OS apps.
I'm actually surprised they still haven't released a touchscreen MacBook Air 2 in 1 that would meet the first and third groups' needs.

Then why does every other brand offer them? If they weren't desirable, they wouldn't be an option. Discounting you own personal feelings - they're popular.

Because they’re okay with producing shit products that have no justification to exist. It’s just marketing bs to charge for a feature (or more often make up for missing ones) by throwing a cheap touchscreen panel on

People have been saying that about growing cell phone sizes. "This phone is huge. It can't possibly get any bigger, no one would want it". Then someone comes out with a larger phone and it sells better than the last largest phone.

Companies offering it as an option doesn't really say anything about popularity just ease of production.

It’s annoying

Not according to all the apple fanboys on here that couldn't possibly accept common criticism. Having options is bad!

Having a touch screen on a laptop is annoying compared to a touch screen on a iPad or iPhone. It’s not it’s intended design and i remember one time a fly landed on my screen and moved my cursor. Lol it was weird.

Then don't buy that model. That's my point.
antolortiz t1_j4rykhm wrote
Why are you pressed about it tho. That’s what I’m wondering
daneshpastry t1_j4s2z4g wrote
Not pressed, was just a feature I would've like to see. :)

Personably don’t want that, I hate touch screen laptops because of accidental touches and how grimey the screen gets.
daneshpastry t1_j4qesvv wrote
But it should at least be an option at this point.
Aonswitch t1_j4qezbi wrote
I disagree, I don’t think more options solves more things always. Have never seen a touch screen laptop that’s actually useful
daneshpastry t1_j4qflyt wrote
They're useful and people like them. Just because you don't, doesn't mean it's not a thing. Every other competitor is offering them.
