HP Makes Affordable 21.5" Touchscreen Win 7 LCD

If you're quicker moving your arm to a screen and pointing on it, then yes, but I think that the mouse is quicker because all you're doing is flicking your wrist maybe 1 inch instead of your whole hand for 1 to 2 feet in distance.

[citation][nom]stuart72[/nom]May be useful for HTPC when monitor sizes increase, but if project Natal-type interfaces take off you wont have to touch the screen to get touch-type interactions anyway. For a windows productivity interface I cannot see the utility of this - who honestly sits so close to their monitor they can comfortably reach out and touch it anyway? Using a 24" monitor I reckon i'd need 3" long arms for this to work.[/citation]

3" long arms eh, would suck for those self pleasuring moments.

Anyway, I think it would kickass for audio editing. I would love to lay a monitor almost flat (angled up) and actually control the mixer faders with my fingers. Beats buying a $1500 mackine control.

I thought you said it was affordable?
I think I would rather stick to my $150 24" WidesScreen and mouse.
BUT... Maybe someday I'll want to get in touch with my PC.

I would like to put it to use in audio apps, also...
