I had a touchscreen laptop for work where I could fold the keyboard all the way back to make it a tablet.

I got really pissed off that I couldn't configure it to only accept touch input when in tablet mode because I kept knocking the screen with my knuckles when typing and sending the cursor.in weird places.

I hope your wife finds one with an extremely easy to toggle touch screen to turn it off and on exactly when desired.

@davidgerard yeah, I have an old touchscreen laptop and it's a nice feature to have. Not massively useful, but all things being equal I'd rather have a touchscreen than not, and yeah, it's good as a drawing tablet — currently I have an iPad for that and it's a pain to get the files off it given I don't have a Mac

@davidgerard@circumstances.run As a current HP Envy user, I feel like touch screen laptops are only good if you can fold them back fully to turn them into tablets

@davidgerard They're also useful for artists who want to draw on their laptop as a lightweight alternative to an artist's tablet. Honestly, it's not bad.
