Touch screens aren't useful on laptops that can't turn into a pseudo-tablet. I guess the 13" can but... Not really.

I don't have one myself yet, but i have heard from a lot of friends and colleagues that as soon as you get a laptop with touch you just instinctively start using it even though they swore before they got it that it wasn't really useful. So I think it still has its use cases and has a value even for simple stuff like scrolling or quickly selecting menus or buttons for volume, play pause, okay, exit etc. when you don't have the mouse in your hand already. I can see myself using it when I'm working on something and have the laptop on the side to either read off documents or watching a video or using control software for a machine. People use their laptop for so many different things other than just sitting stationary with a mouse in their hand.

I am also loathe to think about the screen wobbling complaints given that weak hinges was such a concern.

The laptop isn't out yet. Give it a bit.

I meant if the 13" had a touch screen.

You saw the wobble at their launch event.
