    It was one of the pluses of Macs

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

      Every business laptop I’ve had the last 10 years or so has had a touch screen and it’s pointless. The only times I click anything is when I try to adjust the screen.

      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)

          Maybe its less of a thing now? I had the same experience as the other commenter where every random cheap laptop had a touchscreen but it was back in the Windows 8 era
