    Honestly, I hate touchscreen laptops and two-in-one devices. I wonder if I can just turn off the touch capability of this display.

      I like the fact that you can use it as a drawing tablet. But I’ve never understood why anyone would want to touch screen laptop. Microsoft has already proven people don’t want that, get companies still make them.

        I got my thinkpad with touch screen. The nipple is a bit shitty and the touchpad stops working unless its in optimal hand humidity conditions. Touchscreen just works and its good when someone else is pointing at your screen.

        It’s more convenient than dragging a cursor across the screen. Works especially great with a 360° hinge.

        I am legally blind, so I have to get close to the screen in order to properly see it. So accidental touches can sometimes occur.

          I see, that makes sense, a very rare occurrence that is not understandable without knowing context that you are legally blind…

          Normally, touch signals and video signals use different wires, so I am positive that you will be able to disable touch on hardware level.
