There are two types of touch screen, single touch and multi touch.i've done many projects. touch function is basically left-click of a mouse, nothing more and nothing less.
I know, but I'd have to see one yet (other than product announcements or TV ads). conventional (single touch) are very common, they are everywhere. Maybe one of recent consumer product has made it to the market (iPad?) but I am not selling kidneys to chase trends.There are two types of touch screen, single touch and multi touch.
I came about 1mm from getting a ASUS B121. Decided to go with power over touchscreen though. I thought the touch screen and pen would be really nice but I have such a wide range of stuff I gotta do with it I just went for a normal laptop.I have replaced my laptop with an ASUS EP121
It is 12.1" touchscreen, with two touch inputs. It runs Windows 7
You can press two fingers, move together to zom out, move apart to zoom in.
It also has pressure sensitive pen input, which I use with photoshop, line thickness or paint intensity changes with pressure.
When you click in a text field, a keyboard will appear on screen. Or a button on the side can be pushed to bring it up. The onscreen keybouard is as large as some hardware keyboards I have used.
I do touch-type, however, with a touchscreen I have to go slower,
1) If I go at full speed, I will hurt my fingers by hitting it too hard, there is no give by the keys
2) There is no feedback from the keys, if you are hitting them too low, you won't know until you start to miss.
In addition, the machine comes with a wireless (bluetooth) keyboard, which is great for those times you want to write war and peace.
I justified it with the ability of using a pressure sensitive pen in photoshop whilst on holiday. (one image was a 5ft high, almost life-size photo)I came about 1mm from getting a ASUS B121.
