I will mention it but my premise is that touch is essential.
Not to come off the wrong way, but in this case I think you are the only one holding on to this definition.
For Chromebooks and Ultrabooks, the promise was to have a light, portable device with good battery time, mainly inteded to provide internet-access. With Ultrabooks, decent requirements for CPU, RAM and storage gets added.
Both has a requirement for being "reasonably cheap" given what is offered (for instance sub $1000 for an Ultrabook)
Intel, the ones "launching" the Ultrabook, has never once mentioned touch when they tried to sell the concept to PC-vendors.
