    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 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.

      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.
