I definitely am a fan of NOT having a touchscreen. It was one of the pluses of the Macs, IMHO. When my parents or kids accidentally tap the screen pointing something on their touchscreen ThinkPad, it tends to screw things up and cause me to have to fix things for them.

I am also really worried they're going to start making things "touch friendly" now... And we're going to end up with the MacOS equivalent of Windows 8.

    This was never a common thing in regular laptops though, it was always a special overpriced model.

    I have had to purchase or aid in purchasing laptops for my family and extended family (being the tech go to) for years. For at least the last 15, even entry level laptops have had touchscreens. I feel like they throw it in as a cheap-ish "feature" to make it seem more premium.

    What??? I have literally never seen this, and I have also looked at plenty of laptops in the past 15 years (although not a lot in recent years)
