Kids expect all screens to be touch ready. Chromebooks they learn on in schools are touchscreen. It will be a competitive requirement before long, I think.

I agree with you. When I show things to my kids on my laptop, they instantly try to play with the content by touching the screen.

While true, I do not believe kids are the intended market for a laptop in which the entry model starts near $3k USD.

Kids will grow into the next generation of adults and having a screen you can’t touch will probably feel like an anachronism to them.

I think this is more "have grown" than "will grow"

People who were toddlers when the first iPad came out are now in college.

...Chromebooks are touch screen? This whole time, I've used them assuming they aren't.

Some of them are, some aren't.

I looked it up and saw which ones are, and pretty sure I was using those, haha
