The models I found look to have touch displays. So I have to guess what you expected from the touch feature.
As to the benefit, most call it Gorilla Arm exercises. That is, I find it not so beneficial.
So I have an ASUS X555LAB. My understanding was that it had the feature to be used like a tablet as well. When I change to tablet mode, the display changes but the screen does not seem to have the touch mode feature. Someone please explain the benefit of this feature?
