Is a Touch Screen Laptop Worth Buying?

im considering buying a touch screen laptop such as the tm2t but im not sure.
what are the pros and cons of touch screen laptops?
what do you guys think?

 

I personally hate touch screen stuff, I manage wid an itouch but I barely use it for web surfing & all da but sposedly usually u get accustomed to these kinda stuff. Performance wise I'm not too sure but I'm speakin for da convenience of it

 

I heard they don't last that long, don't know why though...

 

Don't buy it your curry hand will mess up the screen

 

LOL. Touchscreen laptops are pretty cool. I only find it useful if you want to use it for taking notes by using a stylus, but then again typing is way faster than writing. Other than that it just looks cool doing stuff with it. If you see one you like that has touchscreen functionality and it isnt much more expensive than another one go for it.

 

i would say dont go for it, instead the extra cost you would spend on the screen, go for a slightly higher specc'ed laptop. the reason im saying this is because when you get a touchscreen laptop, most of the time your going to forget the touchscreen is there because your so used to a keyboard and mouse. i had one for a week and the ONLY times i used the touch screen was when i first got it in my hands and when i calibrated the touch screen. its a nice feature but it doesnt make much of a difference

 

If Tomorrow They Come Out With The First Flying Car, Would You Buy One? I Sure Hope Not, The Technologically Is Fairly New, And You Are Gonna Run Into Problems. So Just Wait A While, And In A Couple Months Or So, They're Gonna Come Out With A Better One And You're Gonna Run Into Less Problems. Not To Mention The Cost Would Be A Bit Less Expensive.

 

actually no. touchscreen laptops have been out since 05-06 they just naturally cost more. touchscreen laptops are not considered new, they're just not mainstream devices for everyone. i do agree though that some are good and some suck, but just do your research and your all good

 

has any1 ever tried to dj or mix on a touchscreen laptop?

 

i tried it on a touch screen trust me its alot easier but any little slip nd u automatically touch something else so i prefer to stick with my keyboard nd mouse and etc.

 

i would use a hp touchsmart for somethin like virtual dj..... pretty cool...

 

there would still be a slight delay so its pointless.

aside from that the touch screen layer on laptops causes the screen to be dimmer and colours to be washed out . dont waste your time w em

 

nah especially the HP tablets they suck
i used to work in best buy those things are always in for repair.
they are new so they are faulty
but give them like a year or so they will get better...

 

I would say no because if somethings wrong with the touch screen then the whole laptop is messed up
