ProBeat: All laptops should have touchscreens

When I was shopping for my last laptop, I made a conscious effort to exclude all models with touchscreens. It was an easy way to narrow down the choices and made sense to me: Any money I could save on opting out of the touchscreen would be better served to beef up any other hardware component, or could just stay in my pocket. I had accepted that touchscreens made sense for smartphones and tablets but were useless in traditional computers.

Now, I’m not so sure.
