You guys really have to know that laptops with touch screens, convertibles and windows tablets are a thing and will continue to be?
I fully understand that touch UI/UX <> mouse keyboard UI/UX, which is why there is often dedicated interfaces to each.
Touch is not going away.
Next will be AIR GESTURE user experiences (especially, but not limited to, in automotive).
(not to mention, the already expanding VOICE ux such as alexa/google/siri).
