Windows 7 touch-screen laptops
Touch-screen notebooks are not a new thing, especially in the realm of smartphones and PDAs, however owing to disappointing hardware and the lack of OS support, they’ve remained a minute market niche for business notebooks and desktop systems. Until now.
“If an image is value a thousand words, an infographic is an image that is able to converse a lot than a thousand words. These image illustrations of information are a magnet for readers and make simpler difficult data that might otherwise be mystifying.”
But things look to brighten up with the introduction of the new Windows 7. It not only offers enhanced stability, better performance and a sharper appearance, it’s the foremost mainstream operating system that supports touch screens from the base. Rather than adding in touch software piece by piece, as it was with Windows XP and earlier efforts, Windows 7 can run as a touch system at all levels of the OS. The result is smoother and more reliable response.
Pushed by the release of Windows 7 and new hardware, it is predicted that the number of touch notebooks sold could surge from today’s 2 to 3 percent of the market to as much as 10 percent in 2015. More to the point, they will be going from exclusively business systems to those that consumers buy as well.
