Cesar R Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I got the machine above to have a portable device. I no longer get into the renderings like I used to. I mostly use Revit for Architecture. Regardless, this machine is a touchscreen. It is my first touchscreen machine. I am not sure if its the fact that I see not use for a TS outside of maybe some web browsing.. How do you guys feel about the new computer with the touchscreens? I doubt that you could even use them for Photoshop work and I do not think they are anything like wacom. I do look at PDF's quite often, and it is nice to zoom an pan with my fingers. Anyway, does anyone else have a touchscreen computer? what / when do you use the TS. What are your thoughts on the technology etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimitris Tolios Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 After a couple of weeks with a Dell Inspiron 23" (under Win 7), I would say that the experience was positive, though myself concluded that the touch interface is definitely not meant for productivity tasks. Casual web browsing and/or photo browsing is easy with the touch feature, tho again other than impressing your friends who don't expect a touch interface in a large screen, it is not more useful or faster than a mouse. The vertical orientation and the sheer size of a desktop screen is also not very helpful, as you have to do large movements when picking links and/or buttons that lie in oposite ends of the screen....instead of moving your wrist/fingers a couple of cm/inches, you have to run your hand back and forth in large legths, leading to unavoidably slow steps between each click. Perhaps a horizontal or nearly horizontal screen with proper sensitivity (ala Wacom Cintiq) would work much better, but we are not there yet - not at the price point of the average all-in-one desktop. A pen is also a must for any kind of precision work, unless you use it to had paint etc and entertain your family/kids. Thats a given to most professionals using tablets already, and it won't really change in the future as our fingers are too thick for proper "aiming" and control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
