Touch Screen Laptop Guide

Dell offers the Latitude XT2 Tablet PC Touch Screen Laptop that lets you use controls such as pinching and tapping for scrolling, panning, rotating, and zooming into your media. Its multi-touch responsive screen technology is not much to write home about since all new touch screen laptops have the same controls. The difference in design is the LCD-based built-in wireless antenna which is supposed to enhance signal reception. This touch screen laptop is a high-performance system designed with intuitive input capabilities including a capacitive multi-touch screen and pen so the Latitude XT2 can work the way you want. The XT2 allows you to scroll through pages, and close windows on top of the zooming and pinching controls.

Size is a plus when it comes to this Dell touch screen laptop. It is just an inch thick and the power supply is nicely reduced in size. This makes for a great travel laptop. The battery is a unique design in the form of a high capacity battery slice that completely covers the underside of the laptop.

If you use it as a touch screen tablet pc, it comes with a pen to write or draw on the screen that can swivel and fold back into a full tablet position. When taking form of a regular laptop the touch screen features are still available in addition to typical keyboard and track pad controls. The screen is nice and bright by Dell standards and the manufacturer claims it is specifically designed for sunlit outdoor environments. It has sensors to brighten the screen if the environment is exceptionally bright.

Some of the cool features include a fingerprint scanner. It works the same way as the feature first introduced in Sony laptops and is now integrated into most touch screen laptops. The screen is lined with scroll forward and backward wheel for lists and pages and can click if you press down on it to present the right click function of a mouse. The base comes with a storage compartment for the stylus pen as well as the standard USB and IEEE 1392 connector ports. The side of the base is also lined with Wi-Fi controls and SD card reader. It also comes with typical monitor VGA ports for extended display. This Dell touch screen laptop is popular for its right or left hand user design which is a welcome for the lefties of this world.
