Touch screen for Air

When will a touch screen come for Macbook Air?
I like my keyboard and screen for ergonomic comfort but I like the touch concept.
Make a Macbook Air with a display that can be flipped around and then used as a notepad.
Then flip it back and use as a conventional laptop and maintain touch capability.
I can type, then move a graphic with my finger into place next to the text, then flip it around and use my finger or stylus to paint, and then flip it back over and type an essay on the keyboard all while maintaining ergonomic comfort of eye-keyboard-hand-neck comfort.
A simple design philosophy - why hasn't Apple done this yet?

No one here knows anything about Apple's product decisions. We can only guess, and these forums are for technical support on existing products, not speculation about things that don't exist. You can indicate your interest in such a design to Apple via their Feedback pages:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
but whether they will ever come out with such a design, none of us here can say.
I might mention, though, that those Windows laptops with a similar design have tended to have significant reliability problems with the hinge mechanism and screen connection. And all were much thicker and heavier than a MacBook Air. Apple would have to come up with a very clever design to be rugged and reliabile while keeping the Air size and weight.
Regards.

Do any imacs come with a touch screen if not whats the best touch screen for a 2012 13inch macbook air

Do any imacs come with a touch screen if not whats the best touch screen for a 2012 13inch macbook air?
Thx

No they don't.
Apple's position is that touchscreens are for tablets and phones (in Apple's case the iPad and iPhone) and that OSX does not need a touchscreen - the trackpad and/or mouse is more flexible.
That may change in future but no one here knows.
In answer to your second question, there is NO touch screen available for the MacBook Air (2012 or any other vintage), nor for the MacBook Pro. If you must have a touchscreen, consider an iPad with a stand and a wireless keyboard. Alternatively, a Windows 8.1 laptop or desktop???

Apple should make a macBook where the screen can turn around and become touch screen, for easier use

Apple should make a macBook where the screen can turn around and become touch screen, for easier use. especially for when i go to uni

Why touch and swivel screens arent a good idea on a laptop:
The so-called Gorilla arm: Gorilla arm is a term describing the tired arms users get after reaching out and touching a screen for a long time.
Added thickness: Touch screen panels are usually thicker than non-touch ones—especially if the touch panel has an active digitizer for pen support.
Possibly shorter battery life: Touch screens require more power. Laptop Magazine compared a couple of touch screen laptops with their non-touch counterparts (same model and size) and found that the non-touch laptops lasted over an hour longer.
Easy to break: Swivel screens are notoriously prone to break, especially the hinge and the cable that feeds the screen from the logic board which is being constantly twisted.
And thats what the Ipad is for.

Glass touch screen for 310-1125f?

Hi all,
Does any one know where I can buy a replacement glass touch screen for my touchsmart 310-1125f product number: BV551AAR ? I have located the LCD display on ebay and a few other websites but I have not been able to find the actual touch screen glass assembly. Mine is cracked. I think the touch smart 310-1125 series is the same. It's the 20" size and HP's part number is 624359-001 and the description is Touch Screen Glass 20 Inch, Shasta this is according to HP's Partsurfer

Hello soshie:
Welcome to HP 's Forum. Sorry your Touchsmart has a crack glass. Please check your compter's warranty status. When you bought it came with a one year warranty. All HP Touchsmart 310 have the same external parts the last four numbers and letters only mean different memory and hard drive difference or more connector ports such as TV cards stuff like that. You can also try greg's list or Amazon.com and buy.com as well besides ebay. On this forum there was guy who had a glass cut for it. About six months or so back. He posted all that was involved. Thank you frrw. If i come accross any broken cheep HP Touchsmart 310 models. While surfing the web. I will post it for you.

My touch screen for new ipad broke down what can ido ?

my touch screen for new ipad broke down and i live in Saudi Arabia , what can i do ?

Does it not work at all ? Have you tried a reset to see if that fixes it ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Faulty touch screen for my Droid Incredible 2

I have a Droid Incredible 2, but I am having a tough time being positive about it. The lower edge of my touch screen has become non-responsive and/or finicky at random times. While on the desktop, I often can't get the "Phone" button to work. It is like the bottom edge of the touch screen shuts off. That is quite irritating, but it is not as irritating as it is after I actually get in to my phone. If I call someone and get an answering machine, I can't hang up. The "End Call" button doesn't work. This becomes bearable if I call someone and the person answers. It is bearable because the phone will let me out of the loop when he or she hangs up. However, not being able to hang up on an answering machine is quite irritating, especially if it is one that allows for an endless length message. I've found that powering off is the only way out of that predicament.
The touch screen has been a problem while in other programs, too. It is a pain when playing a game and not being able to do something because the touch screen gives out. In those situations, forcing the screen to black and re-dragging down to get it often allows me to keep going, but I don't think I should have to deal with that.
What am I to do? There is no recalibration for my touch screen. Is getting a replacement phone an option? Heck, I am not sure if I am even under warranty.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
-Brian

How and when did the screen went blank? Battery level? Using an specific application?

How do I enable my touch screen for my new laptop?

Just bought a New Hp Pavilion TouchSmart 15 Notebook n090sa and was wondering how i enabled the touch screen as i cant seem to find any information on this.
Thanks in Advance

You shouldn't need to do anything, as the TouchScreen was enabled at the factory when Windows was installed.

How can I disable touch screen for HP Pavillion DV3-2310ea

Howdy
The touchscreen on this laptop can be annoying - even though I've reduced the sensitivity, living in a cat rescue home is challenging to say the least when a strand of cat fur gets on the screen or when a tail brushes the screen, not to mention a cat sneeze -_-
I've been looking around for solutions and I found one stating unchecking the box in "Pen and Touch" in the control panel - however on this laptop there's no box to uncheck
I can't find any settings to disable touch screen, so would anyone know if there's a driver I can temporaraily disable (I'd like to KEEP the option to enable the touch screen - just to show off to friends )
Thanks for your time - Gypsy
P.S I'm sorry if this topic has already been discussed I've just joined to ask this question

Hello,
Would like to leave my contibution on this post:
In order to disable the touchscreen, you have to go to control panel, select Tablet PC settings, then select Pen and touch and do what the print screens below show you:
Let me know if this sorted out your question.

IPhone 2G: Touch screen for functioning on bottom portion

My iphone 2G fell down & after that the bottom portion of the screeen is NOT touch sensitive. While in dile pad, i can make call, dial nos, etc but cannot goto contacts & all list on the one last row.
I gave the phone for repair to an apple reseller at first they asked me to replace the screen which costs $200. Later they told its a hardware error (26) something related to motherboard.
Home button, call, safari, ipod etc is working. In ipod everything is perfect. In call & safari, the bottom portion (last 1 row) is not responding to touch.
For the past one week its with the reseller and couldnt fix it. Could you guys plz help!!!

Error 26 is a hardware failure. Apple does not "fix" iphones(except for screen replacement & battery replacement). If your phone is under warranty & Apple determines the failure is covered by said warranty, it will be replaced. If your phone is not under warranty, you will have to find a third party repair facility. Note: warranty & service for iphones is only provided in the country the phone was originally purchased in from an official supplier.

Replacement non touch screen for Pavillion TS 15-B103AU

He, we have a HP Pavillion TS 15-B103AU with a cracked screen. IS there a DIY replacement screen I can get to replace it? I"m an IT professional myself so am confident doing the work, also I'd prefer a non touchscreen as we never really used the functionality anyway and I know a non touch screen would be a lot cheaper

Hi,
Please check part # on the second manual of the following link:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&document=&product=5358508
The manual also shows you how to replace screen (page #60).
