I look for touchscreens when looking for a cheap windows laptop for someone because they tend to be better quality screens (IPS, decent brightness, etc.) instead of some awful TN panel that's barely visible in a well-lit room.
I don't really expect anyone to use it as a touchscreen, but if they do, at least that will work too.
That’s a good requirement I didn’t think of that. A bad TN panel will make me sell or toss a laptop regardless of spec. Meanwhile I’ll put up with slower speeds if the screen is nice
