My Fascination with Touch Screen Laptops

I have always had a fascination with touchscreen laptops. Around the time I bought my current computer, companies were just barely starting to perfect the technology to make laptops touchscreen. You used to have to operate them with some sort of stylus like you would use with a Palm Pilot. Of course, since touchscreen laptops were not commonplace way back when, the machine I ended up buying was anything but a touchscreen.

Don't get me wrong. I have had my fair share of touchscreen technology outside of my computer. Several smartphones have come and gone along with a number of tablets. For some reason, I have continued to have a distinct fascination with touchscreens in laptops. I have looked at several models and watched as they continued to get better.

I know what you're saying. Who’s this tech guy going on and on about touchscreen laptops? Hasn't he ever seen one before? No, I have not. My laptop has performed well enough that I have put off getting an upgrade for several years. I'm actively pursuing getting one of these machines. The problem is I don't know which one to choose as they all seem so great.


Separating the touchscreen laptops from the 2-in-1 laptops that turn into tablets seems challenging. I would like to stick with the regular touchscreen laptops because they remind me of the cohesive unit I’m using currently. At the same time, the companies that are producing 2-in-1 laptops drive a hard bargain with the awesome features they’re packing into their units. Perhaps I’ll just have to go wild and choose both.
