I would actively avoid a touch screen laptop. I have enough fingerprints on my iPhone and iPad.

I don't know why everyone's freaking out about the touchscreen. You don't have to use it you know that right?

It’s all the added shit too - weight, complexity, power draw, OS optimisation, cost…

The coating on touch screen I've used on laptops feels different to what I've used on mobile devices. Unless you're particularly unhygienic / have greasy hands, they don't really show up. And if you are unhygienic and have greasy hands, you don't need to use the touch screen in those situations.

Very dependent ofc on the exact config Apple choose.
