Sorry, yeah, this is the link I meant for you to look at: [^]

I'm such a nice guy, I'm not going to make any sort of conclusion about you merely based on things you link to.

Oh come on, I am only pulling your leg.

It goes both ways.

Apple are demo'ing the new Macbook Pro with the Touch Bar. Lots of demos of touching the OLED bar to control functionality in applications. The current one is a DJ doing his thing.
Except it seems blindingly obvious that everything he's doing would be way easier and more fun if the entire bloody screen was touch.
I get that uses can push down on the bar harder than you can on a screen, but...surely...

I never felt comfortable using a touch display on a laptop (or regular screen).
Do people really use the touch screen on a laptop if available ? is it fatiguing ?
I'd rather be phishing!

This lappy I'm using right now has a touch screen.
I never touch it, because:
0. It's further away than the keyboard and mouse. Why stretch?
1. Touch is less accurate, and requires more hand movement that using a mouse (I have to move the mouse 1" to move the cursor all the way across the screen; I would have to move my hand all the way across the screen).
2. I shout at people who make greasy finger-marks on my screen, and I don't want me to shout at me, because I'm too scary.
Touch screens are great for phones and tablets, but the only people who want touch-screen computers appear to be microsoft "innovators" -- even most graphic artists don't want them; it's too easy to mess up your work, with a touch screen, and it's too much hand movement.

Points 0 and 1 are of course, too sensible for many. Attribute the vote to that which you choose - more would be offered if possible. #2 was the most fun though.

I approve your message! All the reasons why I don't want to have a touch screen, except on a phone or tablet, have been mentioned by you!

I don't use it, but my sister does (She is younger than me, maybe we are just addictedused to keyboard and mouse )

I use the touch screen on my laptop for some purposes. Mostly I use just keyboard-n-mouse -- as others have noted, fingers are not very accurate. [I don't care for touchpads, either, as they're slower to use than a mouse]
However, in doing demos for 1 or 2 people, the touch screen makes things easier for everyone. No need to transfer the mouse, just drag things around on screen. There are also times when I'm reviewing long data lists where I need to make short jumps -- the touch screen works well.
Although I have to clean the screen when done ...

I'd prefer to keep my screen clean-ish. Also, never been a fan of touch screens on laptops or desktops. Just seems awkward manipulating stuff at that angle.

Except people would complain about that too. Personally, I think it's awesome and a good segway into making things more touch screen down the road. Now if I could just convince Outlook to save .jpg extensions on a Mac, life would be great.

This[^] is a good one, because it's red. I don't like the black or silver ones.

Snazzy, the link is missing a "g", but she is a pretty one.
Did know that, but then again I'm from the south and we take pride in not knowing fancy words.

I think CP is out to sabotage my postings. That's the second time the auto-linky thing has dropped a letter from the end.
And I'm from Pompey, which is pretty far south

Hey, the plankies only add "new" to a name because they can't think of anything original.
