10 percent of notebooks have a touchscreen
A report by IHS DisplayBank claims 4.57 million notebooks shipped in Q1 2013 featured a capacitive touchscreen, up 51.8 percent from the previous quarter. The number represents just over ten percent of all 46 million notebooks shipped in the period.
“Touch-screen notebooks should hold at least 10 percent of the total laptop shipments,” the company said in a new report on the sector. “In particular, brands from the greater China region, including Lenovo, Acer and Asus, have set higher targets of achieving more than 20 percent [adoption],” the report said. Microsoft ignited the rush to touch screen notebooks with the release of Windows 8 last fall, its first operating system to natively support the technology.
Win 8 has seen sluggish uptake to date, but Displaybank remains cautiously optimistic.

Not a fan of the touchscreen on laptops. Makes a lot more sense on tablets (or laptops ith detachable screens). Those that are touchscreen and with a screen that cannot detach is pointless.

I find the touchscreen very useful on my Asus transformer and use it all the time with the keyboard dock attached. But that is because the screen is small. On larger notebooks I don't think I'd like it.

Fact: Until recently touching wasn't allowed for a 'lap-top'
Fact: Lap-tops only have two protruding buttons
Fact: Lap-tops have displays that can move from side to side
Fact: Lap-tops only come with one vertically orientated USB port
Fact: Another port is available around the back, but it's much less widely used
