Does anyone here also feel like an outsider because you - no matter how other people love it - just won't get used to touch (or for some reason you don't want to) ?

I wouldn't mind my current notebook [1] having a touch display (additionally), but i still wouldn't use it that often i guess (and i wouldn't pay extra for it).

I really have to try the Keyboard of the Surface though, but knowing me - very picky about keyboards - i don't think i could work with it.

[1]: Thinkpad T 520



Case in point: I have very dry skin. The tip of my fingers will crack and bleed unless I use a copious amount of hand cream. As a result, every touchscreen I use becomes a greasy mess of smudged fingerprints. I also hate scrolling and zooming, because rubbing a finger across several inches of plastic irritates my skin much more than simply moving a mouse around and clicking from time to time.

So, regular screen + keyboard + mouse for me.
