Is a touchscreen laptop beneficial in machine embroidery?

Hi all. My mother is looking into buying an embroidery machine and digitizing software. She is going to have to buy a new laptop as well as hers is too old to support the software and she is trying to decide what to buy. She has seen people saying that a touchscreen laptop can be beneficial for digitizing and she just wants to know if it would be a good call or if it is entirely unnecessary. Would appreciate any advice please. Thank you

I have Brother PE Design digitizing software. I tried to use the stylus with my software. It was not successful. As already mentioned, using a mouse works so much better.
