I'm on the flip side of this preference. If framework laptops had a touchscreen, I would have waffled on ordering one.

Is there some specific quality-related reason for this? I’m not a fan of touchscreens on laptops but absent some glaring technical issue I can’t imagine that being a blocker for my purchases.

A touch screen adds weight and a glossy display. I purposely purchased the Lenovo T14S Gen 3 AMD without a touch screen as I prefer a matte screen, and the device is lighter.

Touch screens do not have to be glossy. I've used plenty of matte touch screen displays.

Why? You can always turn off the touchscreen. I have on my laptop.

They make the display worse.

Could you quantify this?

can you turn it off in hardware though?
