If it's a Windohs laptop, I'd think one could disable the touchscreen input. Should be able to in device manager, but failing that one could disconnect the plug that communicates to the mainboard.
I mostly hate touch screens because why would I want to constantly touch my screen after decades of scolding people that they could point to something on a screen without touching it with their greasy fingers.
Sometimes I prefer scrolling through a PDF by touching my screen. That's a rare occasion.
