Touchscreen Laptops

[Cosmic]

Have any of y'all ever had a touchscreen laptop? What do y'all think?

I've been playing around with my new laptop, a Dell Inspirion 13", and the touch screen is really growing on me. You can also fold the monitor back to make it like a tablet, which at first I thought would be a terrible gimmick, but actually it's pretty neat. The laptop is too heavy to actually carry around as a tablet, and as a "laptop" it feels much more balanced than as a single solid slab, but at times it can be pretty neat to fold back the screen, prop it up, and use it as if it were a tablet.

Yep! I have an HP Pavilion Sleekbook running Windows 8.1. I find myself not using the touch a lot, normally only for games and browsing websites. It works well and I like it. Touch seems the best for Windows 8 & 10 (7 seems like it would be a little more difficult to use touch on). I think it would be cool to have a touchscreen Mac though.

I have used tablets before but I have never used a touchscreen laptop but really want to get one.

My brother has an 18 inch touch screen laptop and that thing is HUGE. I personally want a touch screen laptop, but I wouldn't want one that big. 😛

I have played around with a touch screen however it's not my thing and I don't like it much.

One reason because the finger marks allover it and hard to see if screen is dirty with chips fingers.

Smartphones are different and I expect that

I have seen them never used one, but personally don't see the need. If you want a laptop you're better off getting a normal laptop. The touchscreen ones will be more expensive in most cases.

If you want a touchscreen laptop-like device it is better off getting a Tablet.

I have a touch screen laptop, I love it personally. I use it to zoom in more in most cases or when I'm being too lazy to use the touch pad. It's a nice feature in my opinion

I had a touchscreen desktop before I got my new computer...my poor new TV screen, I keep poking it. 😛

Touchscreens are really fun, and when you just don't want to use the mouse, it's even better. 😛

I feel that there are not enough good touchscreen apps in the Windows Store to make buying a Touchscreen laptop worth it to me.

I also mainly use keyboard and mouse for most tasks like web browsing, and games.
