Windows 7 Touch Screen

I know that a few people have already discussed the new version of Windows that was released today, but I was very intrigued by something that it offers and I just wanted to share it with everyone. I'm sure many of you have seen the touch screen technology being used, but the interesting thing now is that Microsoft 7 actually has it built in. Before this version of Windows, if computer companies wanted to have the touch screen feature they would have to make their own software. Watch the video below from cnet to see some of the touch features and read their review.



In an article in The Seattle Times the director of global product marketing for Dell demonstrated one of their computers that they have designed to use Windows 7 touch screen capabilities. They have released Studio 19 with touch screen as well as having the computer mounted on the back of the monitor. After watching the video below I went and checked out the Dell website to customize one of these computers because I was curious of the price. The only upgrade I made was to Windows 7 (they are still offering Vista in the included price) and the price was $1,119. I actually thought that with the touch technology that it would be a lot pricier.

I have been in the market for a new desktop computer, but I don't think I am ready for all of that yet. I do like the features I just use my laptop a lot more than my desktop so I would have no need for all of the extra features that go along with the cost
