—maybe for people who like to swipe around the web and play angry birds.. anyone creating big documents or software is going to want a keyboard—

Exactly.

I hate touch screens mainly because I keep touching things I don’t mean to. I have a samsung galaxy s phone. Half the time, when someone calls, I accidentally hang up on them when I pull my phone out of my pocket.

And a friend, who is an Apple junkie, was given the Apple tablet by his employer. He said it is not portable enough to be “more portable” than his laptop. And for him that means they are equally portable. And the laptop gives him a full keyboard. He sees the tablet as pretty useless.

Personally, I’d like to see a laptop with a touch screen.

I program for a living, so I won’t be giving up my Mac Book Pro anytime soon.

HP has a laptop with a touchscreen. I bought one a few years ago for college note taking. I have moved on.
