I'm not saying this product is good, it's looks interesting but in reality will suck (due to not being able to just close the laptop) but I found when I used to use a windows laptop the touch screen was great.

You just naturally get used to using it for reading documents/email/slack when you are using the laptop portable.

It's specially good when you are on a couch/shit surface where you would normally use the touch pad awkwardly, it's also great when you are "one hand" holding the laptop and then scrolling/showing someone something. I found it also great in the small ass meeting rooms for zoom calls.

I wish the MacBook had it.

It's one of those situations where the more seamless they make the experience, the quicker the user will end up totalling either the laptop screen / hinges or the touchscreen. Given the position of the connector and how people generally close laptops, it's the perfect lever to crack something.

Sometimes it feels like the entire world forgot about using the pgup/pgdn keys for scrolling
