Does you arm get tired reaching the touchscreen for a desktop monitor? Is touchscreen useful on the desktop?

NO. I have a 20" Sony Tap20 and you do not get tired from using a computer in that manner, also if you want to resize something while reading, it is easy to stretch it larger, which is faster than "page, zoom" adjustments!

No this is not a touch screen. The touch pad I've noticed does seem to be a little buggy, but I rarely noticed it. I typically use a mouse though since I hate touch pads though.

I have not used the stylus very much but found it worked flawlessly. I have been using my fingers to touch and go. I am very happy with the monitor's touch capabilties and display. Good Luck!

No, you would have to buy a monitor that's specified as "touch screen". But you can use the mouse to click on the icons in Windows 8

No. And it's not a touchscreen monitor. You use buttons to navigate on the monitor.

Yes, if you push towards the front past the support bars (shown in picture). I game with the monitor pushed up towards the front so it would be no big deal to me. However, if you plan on fully utilizing the desktop with other objects, it would be crowded. I hope this answer helped.

Janet, I get the benefit of both the touch screen element, as well as using the keyboard. Just had my new one installed yesterday, by the Geek Squad. Nicely done!Enjoy both devices.

No this computer is not touch screen. With Windows 8, if you have other touch screen techy stuff, you might be better of than I am. I am switching to Windows 7 ASAP because the 8 is a totally new route to learn.

Yes, you can still use the touch screen... It's easier if your fingers are dry though. You can still use it if they're wet but it's cumbersome. I use mine while drifting down the river on an intertube.

I rest my forearm on the desktop when using the mouse. so, yes it does require support

yes you can, but the keyboard/mouse sensitivity to touch isn't all that great......

Nope, but I had worse problems. Touchscreen stop working after about 20 days use. It's supposed to be for rough use. I think it's a defective item. It hasn't even been droped... Will return it

I'm not aware of the Laptop having a touch screen. But you can turn off the track pad internally, just ask me how once you get it if you plan on getting it.

I find it frustrating for simple desktop use. It will sometimes click things when you don't want it to. It's not precise or very accurate. It sometimes goes off on its tangent i.e it'll drift to the edge for no reason. It's terrible really. Use a mouse it'll cut down on the frustration level immensely. However I will add that as of now the trackpad is officially the only problem I have with it. Fanstastic computer otherwise.

I use touch screen workstations everyday. I sell them. They are great if you're working with pictures, touch-based games, using painting and drawing software, etc. But at the end of the day, when it comes to serious work, you need a seriously comfortable keyboard and a responsive trackpad. Nothing beats the Macbook line. Most of my work is typing, so having a touch screen is useless. I prefer touch on a all-in-one desktop instead of a laptop. It's just unnatural to reach up to a laptop screen to touch every time. The macbook trackpad has multi-finger gestures that are just more intuitive than any touchscreen for moving windows around and controlling your system. I thought about purchasing a touch-screen enable windows laptop, but I'm not a huge windows fan (I see too many problems daily with windows), not to mention I simply would not have a use for the touch screen. I take the Macbook line's trackpad over any touchscreen.

Big time. I use it for opening and closing windows, holding down command and shift while clicking, switching desktops, revealing my mouse cursor across my triple-monitor setup, back and forwards, volume control, etc. I make liberal use of the ring finger shifter.

I don't use a mouse with mine, if that is what you mean. As far as I am aware, you cannot touch the screen and use it.
