Looking at all the new PCs (not just laptops) coming out with touch

Windows 7 and/or XP systems?


I'm thinking something where the finger on a screen acts like mouse -
with tab to click - on, say, a 1900x1200 monitor.


How much money do you have? Wacom makes gorgeous monitors that are touch
sensitive. I'm not sure fingers work with them - there's a stylus.
They're aimed at the graphics arts market. If you've ever watched the
Orange County Choppers TV show, the designer there uses one.


Are you thinking about the Wacom Cintiq 24HD at ~US$2300? 1920x1200, 24"
display, 16:10 ratio, and 2048 levels of pressure resolution.

No, I don't have one (drool...) but as I read the specs it's not a
touch-sensitive screen.

I don't have one either and am drooling too. I recently updated the
driver for my old Wacom Intuos tablet for Win 7 and they now have
incorporated gestures into the interface. They work surprisingly well.
