I had a touchscreen laptop for years and only used the screen if the touchpad was broken for some reason. a touchscreen is just not ergonomic in laptop form. the yoga-style screen should make it much more useful.
my use case would be for occasionally reading music on a music stand, and to run an audio mixer with a tablet style interface.
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.
