Personally, I hate it. Most of my laptops are non touch: thinkpads, dells. .Even when ram price drops and i could afford the Framework, i would only go for the non pro 13 version. For the ones that came with touchscreen, I disabled it if i can.

Touchscreen just doesnt work for me on a laptop. If i want a touchscreen then i use my tablet or phone.

Mostly dependent on whether I want to be quiet with my device or am doing art, or if I'm doing like anything else. I didn't know the last laptop I bought even had touchscreen capabilities, and I wasn't really used to them on a laptop outside of a faulty toaster of a laptop I got nearly a decade ago, all before getting a new laptop a few years back.

Over time I've basically only ever used the touchscreen for digital art and the sort, playing certain games but don't want others in the library to hear my mouse clicks, and taking notes for like a single college course.

Otherwise, I don't really care about it since most of the time if I'm using it, the cursor will absolutely jump places because something like the side of my wrist or part of my forearm will be detected. Yeah, I need one of those drawing gloves to fix the problems I have, but that ain't happening since I have more important matters to attend to.
