I dunno how people can knock the option. I can't stand using a laptop without a touchscreen.

Quick interaction with small elements at distances across the screen? Absolutely I'm preferring poking the screen over the touchpad.

I would never drop the touchpad in favour of a touchscreen, but I feel it when the touchscreen is missing.

I think most people's alternative to a touchsceen is a mouse, not the touchpad.

Sure, but what about when you use a laptop on your... Lap?

On a couch, bed, bus, plane, train, waiting room chair, etc.
