The only reason I would want touch is if the screen would fold and rotate in order to turn it into a tablet. If Apple made this in a 12-inch format (like their old 12-inch MacBook I'd buy it immediately. No idea why anyone would want a laptop form factor with a touch screen; seems like an RSI nightmare. Especially since you can already pinch-and-zoom and do other gestures with the existing touch pads! | ||

> No idea why anyone would want a laptop form factor with a touch screen; seems like an RSI nightmare. I have no idea how this keeps getting repeated. No one with a touchscreen laptop is just hovering their arms in front of the screen like a zombie for hours. It’s another input. You use it when it makes sense. For some, that’s pretty frequent. For others like you, maybe never. | ||

HP has a lot of hybrid laptop tablets and they make the hinges fail much more often. Only the Surface line, as in where the tablet is the main form with an optional keyboard makes sense here. | ||
