It all depends on your level of expertise.
Generally I would recommend using some Ubuntu if you want to use Kodi on it. Can´t say anything in regard of touchscreens and if Ubuntu will work properly with it.
If I would consider buying a laptop which has a touchscreen, I would see if there are some models which might be interesting for me and then start to google if there are any known problems with that model while using Ubuntu.
If the hardware works fine using a specific OS (let´s say Ubuntu), then I guess Kodi will work fine as well.
So, in the end your question is generally not a Kodi question. The OS has to support the hardware. If you install applications on the OS and the hardware is supported by the OS, then the application should also work.
