It didn't help that when Windows 8 rolled out, and I was working at
a large tech company that the supply chain for touch screens took a
dump. Dell's lead times went from a contracted 5 business days to 35+,
and we'd just standardized on a touch model. I ended up having to back
up stock with non-touch screens, which were matte (and therefore not as
cool), so when things corrected themselves, I had people wanting to
trade-in 6 month old laptops for the touch-screen models.
