A:Answer I've never seen the value in having a 2 in 1, it feels more like a gimmick that I'll only use once or twice. That said, this is my second laptop I've used with a touch screen and I can't go back. The touch screen is way faster when you have the laptop on your lap, not to mention it's really helpful when you're helping someone else with their computer. Multiple times I've been sitting next to my mom with her Mac, trying to show her how to get to something, and tapped on the screen forgetting that it isn't touch. It's a really small feature for lazy people, but I think really useful regardless of whether or not it's a 2 in 1.
