Feel like saying more? I have a touchscreen laptop and have never built such a habit. Being honest I have trouble imagining how moving my hands off the trackpad and keys can feel efficient. What kinda stuff feels better?
its good when you're not typing. Navigating music/streaming, etc. also most ui is now made for touch devices anyway.
Same. Have a laptop with a touch screen for many years now and recently just disabled the feature because I never use it. There were like 3 occasions that I did and thought to myself "maybe for this it's useful".
Any kind of dialog box, image zooming, moving a text cursor a long distance. It's small stuff, but I find myself bopping the screen with my finger like a dummy when I use other laptops. I worked more with tablets before a switched to laptops so that's where I probably picked it up, but I really find the touch screen efficient.
