    Do any of you have touch screen computers,like me?​
    Do you sometimes find it annoying the disadvantages of actually using it?​
    Do you think,that a mouse and keyboard aren't even needed if it's a touch screen computer?​
    Tell me your thoughts here!​

    Sorta regretted not getting a touchscreen laptop. I like the way they function, particularly if they're an actual laptop and not something psuedo-like, e.g. Surface. Naturally they are disadvantages to using touchscreens, like when the entire screen refuses to respond to your input (i.e me whenever I get even a drop of liquid on my PS Vita. Fffffs), so for that reason I like to have external keyboards and mice as a handy fallback.

    I actually have a Cintiq 24" HD as my monitor for drawing. It's wonderful. ;____;

    I strongly dislike touchscreens when it comes to my PCs. For every touchscreen PC I did use in public, it was rather laggy, and half of them were unresponsive at times. Touchscreens are best left for smartphones, tablets, and certain gaming devices (like the DS and 3DS).

    I would rather not have fingerprints on a computer screen. I have one of the commemorative Fire Emblem 3DS systems, and it retains fingerprints far too well; it looks filthy. Having to repeat that for a computer would be very frustrating, and visually unappealing and distracting.

    Besides that, touch screens would not even be practical for me, as I type much faster than I click - I only use a mouse and click buttons when I have to (if I could finish this post just by hitting Enter a few times or something, I would do that much faster than with a mouse).

    I don't have a touch screen computer but the parents' downstairs is touchscreen and it can be convenient but I highly prefer a mouse and keyboard since it's just so much faster. They do too since they're not at all technology-savvy and never use the touchscreen options unless it's to shut it down since the button presses are a little quicker that way.

    Not sure when or if I'll ever adjust to touch screen computers but my mouse is my baby. <3 I mean, it's even confusing for me to understand how people can use a trackpad on their laptops all the time. I need my mouse no matter what.

    I always use a touch-screen device, considering that in my free time I either play Wii U or 3DS, and if I need to write an essay or whatnot, I use my sister's Surface.

    For the Surface, since it has a mousepad instead of a normal mouse, I prefer using the touchscreen to select things and use the actual keyboard to type things, considering I'm not too fast using a mousepad.

    I have a touchscreen laptop (and what do you know, I'm using it right now!), and it's kind of ruined other computers for me, haha. Occasionally I'll reach over to other monitors to touch them like I would on my laptop and not have them respond. XD But while it was odd to get used to at first and occasionally glitches out, I still think it's really cool.

    My monitor is not touchscreen on my computer, but it's great as if you lack a mouse or keyboard.
    (I wonder how playing pc games on a touchscreen will work)
