Should I buy a touch screen notebook?

[scorecard]

Bought a touch screen Lxxxxx model about 5 years ago, worked well for about 8 months then many problems with ghosting, then turned off the touch screen facility. Two repair centres in Chiang Mai declined to try to fix the touch screen facility.

 

Used the machine with touch screen turned off for quite a few years but now time to buy a new notebook.

 

Is touch screen on notebooks now less problematic and more reliable?

 

Overall don't need high end capabilities.

 

Any brand recommendations with touch screen?

 

Thanks.

I'm on my third Dell XPS 15, and all of them have had 4 K touchscreens. They've all been flawless. I like to replace them with newer models every five years or so.

 

I mostly use the keyboard but the touchscreen comes in handy on various occasions, such as when I want to use a non-English keyboard.
