I used to agree with you. Never did I wish to have a touchscreen on my Macbook. In my head it manifested a cumbersome scenario. Then, my lady bought a Surface RT. I use it as a laptop often, and find that having a touchscreen is great. I often find myself trying to touch the screen of my iMac or Macbook, after using Surface RT.

I hooked up the Surface to a 21 inch Samsung tv through the microHDMI. It is a great way to watch a movie and surf the web, all from the little guy. I have cranked out serious work through the Surface Type Keyboard as well. The best part is the tablet can live without being a parasite to my main computers.

It would be great if every device had many types of inputs, touch, voice, or gesture.

Well, maybe I should just give one a whirl. Maybe I'm missing something.
