This is the iMac touchscreen version done by Troll Touch. It uses the pressure-sensitive resistive technology to enable activation with any type of stylus, including fingertips and pencil points. The overlays are made from chemically strengthened glass to ensure durability.

Oh wow!!! That's sick

I don't use Mac and I wish they had that in Microsoft

[beana*]

cool!
i wish they had it on my macbook.... but then again
i hate when people touch the screen! soo hard to clean ><

[ahndee]

I prefer a mouse lol, touching the screen will get annoying for me.

The OS is built for mouse-centric usage; therefore, using fingers or other specific utensils will actually be harder than using a mouse.
I'd expect a brand new OS from Apple like the iPhone/iPod Touch.

Am I the only one who thinks touch screens are such a stupid gimmick?

Tactile control and feedbackare still the best to me.

I wonder how playing counter-strike would be like if they had touch screen computers for microsoft.

[awdark]

O_o they do have touch screens for PCs...

They sell like overlays that can go on top of the screen and they do sell screens (usually smaller ones like 7") with built in touch screens. Common uses are like carputers or kiosks (like a digital picture printing station).

For example have you guys heard of the EEE laptop?

That guy put in a touch screen on top of his LCD and now he can do touchscreen.


Btw I am pretty sure I heard games + touchscreen = headshot friendly tap to the head

Are you serious? HP makes plenty of touch-screen desktops and laptops.

[chocopocky]

Touch screen computers has been around forever.. lol

Besides, I would get annoyed if I have to clean dirty marks on the screen everytime that I use it.

HAHA! that is SO true!

well, personally i think touch screens are overrated. i mean using a mouse is like easier! why make it harder? ''

[lovejyk]

I agree. I think using a touch screen would be harder to use than a mouse. Your arm would probably fall asleep from having to keep it raised up all the time, haha.

[KAME]

you have to consider it's just about the technology.
Sooner or later there will be good applications that support touch screen...

all i can really think of are store cashier applications. lol

[LunaDiviner]

Wouldn't your arm get sore from having to touch the screen if you were using it for prolonged periods of time? And you'd also have to sit pretty close to the screen..

[PINKXDREAMER]

i don't think this is anything new. several of my dorm neighbors have laptops that are touch screen.

[mUsiCisMYlifEy]

Don't they have a HP touch screen too?

Anyways, I like the design of I-Macs x]
and Macs x]

Apple design <3

[VDollStyle]

Wow thats cool, i wish i had one...

[preci0us_smiles]

wow. i wonder if they're going to make an I-mac laptop touch.
