I never understand people who want to have a touch screen in such a form factor. I mean, I would have to move my hand from my keyboard to the screen. That sounds very inefficient to me (but I am a heavy keyboard user, though).
A friend of mine has a yoga 900 and for some stuff a touchscreen is quite cool, especially if you are lazily on the couch and you do Youtube or movie watching or you listen to spotify. For such stuff it's really nice to just press on the play or next button on the screen.
It's nothing you _have_ to have, but for lazy computer usage it's a nice feature.
