Jul 7, 2026, 7:55 AMAfter using the FrameWork 12 laptop extensively, I can say that I don't like having a touchscreen on a laptop.
The only times I touch the touchscreen are when I'm trying to adjust the tilt, and I end up registering an accidental click.
I never intentionally touch the screen.
So, I'll remember that for the next laptops : no touchscreen needed!
@tisha I used to have a touchscreen Chromebook and I kinda liked it even just for the occasional scrolling (quicker to swipe than to press arrow keys and felt more accurate than touchpad) but specifically in use case of recipe reading.
And zooming is quite nice with them.
Haven't had one for half a decade now, do somewhat miss it but yeah, I dunno
@tisha touchscreen laptop is nice if you can flip the screen at 180° and use it as an overpowered tablet x) (if it supports EMR pen, you have a good drawing tablet that doesn't require a PC, add to that waydroid and you have android compatibility :3
I only know some Microsoft surface and Samsung Chromebook able of doing that sadly :/

@tisha The only time I had a touch screen laptop, it was a #surfacebook from #microsoft
Aside annoyances with #windows the only annoyance it were that things were not that touch friendly, unless you used #microsoft stuff or stuff from the app store.
I did like the tablet convenience, but with the way things are going, I’d prefer to switch to #linux or open source entirely.
