Touch screen on a laptop. Yuck.
However on a serious note, its not as bad as you think. Just have to get used to it and once you do that, there won't be a going back. Think of it as something that is supposed to complement your existing workflow and not as something that would replace it. You know like have a voice assistant on your phone, you don't have to yell everything at it, just some quick look ups.
I want to be able to disable it entirely and not smudge the crap out of a screen I'm trying to work on, but it's effectively impossible and when you do disable it it all falls back to keyboard controls and leaves you with a garbage pen exeprience.
I'd say the same about a phone, but I don't spend my day staring at my phone.
Given the prevalence of touch devices these days, I'm surprised that I don't hear this complaint very often.
