I have a Dell with that, wasting power and forcing glossy on me—there was no other option. Hands on keyboard more efficient, so have used it twice in five years maybe. A waste imho.

Dell Inspiron with 4k Screen? I had a work provided one and I kept forgetting it was a touch screen. The screen was nice, but I never found a use for the touch part. A pen (Microsoft Surface laptops) is a better idea. as you can keep the same UI.

And yet, with a touch screen laptop I did use it extensively without needing to change the UI as I never used it exclusively. People use different features differently. Not particularly profound but still pertinent.

I think being forced to buy a thing that degrades the experience in some way (battery/reflection) is worse than not allowing it for folks that might use it.

Would be great if we all had options, but perhaps not economical.
