I have a laptop with touchscreen, mostly forget about it until i by accident touch the screen, and then usually it does something irritating. The touchscreen is more of a problem then a benefit.

The only devices that really benefit from a touchscreen are phones and tablets. And there for certain types of apps it may even be a better input device than keyboard and mouse. This could be one of those situations: https://www.shapr3d.com/

I am in the other camp. I have a convertible and regularly use it in tablet mode. Be it when using whiteboard in a remote presentation, be it when reading pdf and doing annotations.

Sometimes I even do work in photo editing with the pen on the screen.

Afterwards I just switch back into normal mode and use it to create presentations, write code and just do my work.

I think there are different types of people/users with different types of needs. Why not provide for both. Other vendors do this by providing the same model as regular and as convertible version.
