| It's totally pointless, because the trackpad is already a touch device... and you use it to manipulate a precise cursor that doesn't block your view of what you're working on. |

| Except that the trackpad has to be used to get the cursor all the way over to the control --- it's often faster to just reach out and touch, and if using a stylus, then the cursor goes right back to where the other hand was working as soon as one lowers it back into hover range. |

| ▲ | WillAdams a day ago | parent [-] | | I find it lends a lot to the flexibility of the device --- but I'm using a touchscreen on a convertible which I can flatten out into a tablet w/ keyboard to one side or the other, or fully reverse into an expansive tablet. | | |
