Even if touchscreen is faster (I'm not convinced), it is much less precise. You need huge UI elements, sparsely laid out. Standard rolldown menus are fine with mouse, awkward with touchscreen.

Add a pen to the mix and you're golden. I have a touchscreen 2-in-1 device with a pen, and I barely ever use the touchpad anymore.
