Due to the low demand, some manufacturers have discontinued the development of notebooks with touch screen for the fourth quarter of 2017. This is reported by the branch office Digitimes. According to this, the low demand has a major impact on Intel and Microsoft, which had hitherto praised the touch features of notebooks.

The sales of notebooks are declining due to the higher demand for smartphones and tablets anyway. When customers buy a notebook, they also prefer the mouse and keyboard, as the touch screen is rather cumbersome to use with a notebook.

The manufacturers want to limit touch screens in the future to 2-in-1 devices with removable screen, the Tablet and Ultrabook in one. All in all, they expect a rising sales of notebooks from the release of Windows 9 next year.
