Touchscreen laptops, and by extension "two-in-one" laptops, are an absolute abomination of a form factor that should not exist.
they are convenient for me. would you deny me this?
I would deny you that a surface that's designed to tilt when touched and collects fingerprints as if that's its primary function is anything but abominable. Let alone the models that are designed to operate with a keyboard and touchpad facing down and making contact with whatever surface they're resting on!
Joke's on you: I lay on my bed, bring up my knees, use my laptop on my waist while leaning against my legs, and touch the screen as needed when I can't navigate by keyboard.
I can't possibly do that with a non-touchscreen laptop anywhere near as easily.
Granted, that's probably it's only decent use case, but even so, for various, occasional operations, the touch capability is helpful.
