    I had a touchscreen laptop for years and only used the screen if the touchpad was broken for some reason. a touchscreen is just not ergonomic in laptop form. the yoga-style screen should make it much more useful.

    my use case would be for occasionally reading music on a music stand, and to run an audio mixer with a tablet style interface.

      I'm in the same boat, but it is worth mentioning that the screen folds back on itself. It can be used as a tablet and has stylus support.

        That's what they meant by "yoga-style screen".

            I dunno how people can knock the option. I can't stand using a laptop without a touchscreen.

            Quick interaction with small elements at distances across the screen? Absolutely I'm preferring poking the screen over the touchpad.

            I would never drop the touchpad in favour of a touchscreen, but I feel it when the touchscreen is missing.

              I think most people's alternative to a touchsceen is a mouse, not the touchpad.

                Sure, but what about when you use a laptop on your... Lap?

                On a couch, bed, bus, plane, train, waiting room chair, etc.
