I don't want to pay for something I'm not going to use. Of course there are uses for touch screen on a laptop that people may have, but for most people, it's more effort to use a touch screen than a mouse or trackpad, etc.

Dell has sold XPS laptops with touchscreens for nearly 10 years. I had an XPS 2015 and it worked great.

I had a Dell XPS15 for work in 2015 back and that had a touch screen. I didn't use it all that much but it worked great. And no smudges

For note taking, you can find e paper note takers cheaper than an ipad.

I used a windows laptop that folded over for notes one year in college. Then I accidentally dropped that laptop out of a backpack and got an m1 MacBook for the battery life and iPad mibi for flight school. Sometimes I try to touch something on my MacBook screen and then I remember that I chose good battery life not consumer choice.

Still use mine to watch movies and catch up on some series. I really love the big screen immersion. I might wait for those new personal screen glasses like the Nreal. But that one is not IOS native and needs an adaptor.

Often you don't need a touchscreen, but once in a while I want to go touch something on the screen and guess what, I can't. It's usually easier to navigate maps using touch rather than gestures on the mousepad imo.

Exactly. I have a MacBook Pro, that stays plugged in most of the time unless I need to edit video footage, or photos, or do any other task I would need my MacBook for. The other 90% of the time I have an m1 iPad Pro 12.9 with a magic keyboard that can accomplish most tasks. I actually prefer it this way.

What screens are you using? Also last I saw Apple was testing a vending machine to repair iphone screens
Edit: added word screens

I can't think of why i'd want a subpar desktop/laptop experience other than for the benefits I get from a tablet.

Are they jailbreakable? I hate the current UI and all and it would be great to be able to fix it

So Facebook never does this?
And Amazon never does this?
Personal data is valuable. When corporations have it, there is temptation to sell it.
Trying to pin that temptation only on a single race or country, might be maybe missing the point a little bit, maybe.
