I don't think I will convince you, but that is training as well.

Yes, in the beginning, it feels terrible, because you hit the glass too hard, but after some time you adjust your tapping and hit the screen with the minimal force necessary to register a touch.

Yea, it will probably never feel as comfortable as your thinkpad, but once you get the hang of it, it isn't the difference between "wonderful" and "sucking".

What do you mean "in the beginning"? For how long do you think I've been using a phone lol?

There's no convincing, it's like comparing old, low quality shoes that don't even fit you to my perfect pair of shoes.

I can use all 10 fingers with minimal movement, I get immediate feedback, I don't have to hold anything. There's no training that can replace that. Typing on a touch screen will never not such.
