This is the dad... The screen seems to work well for our 4 year old boy. The tablet comes with an attached stylus pen to help with things like drawing, etc. Our son uses the stylus half the time and his finger the other half. I guess I am trying to say the sensitivity of the screen is well designed for a child. I hope that helps.

Hello! The touch screen works off an optical method, if you are touching the screen in other places at the same time it will confuse the touch points you want specifically.

The touch is superior to the iPads for writing with a stylus, because it's pressure sensitive, not finger sensitive. Try writing letters on an iPad with a stylus -- you have to buy one of those pens with a spongy fake finger on it, and you still get garbage. Leapfrog products use the sort of system similar to what palm pilots had (some kind of membrane above the screen), which enables accurate writing with anything pointy. That's important because many of the games depend on accurate writing of letters in order to teach kids how to write. This would be impossible on an iPad. As for complaints about resolution, come on. A kid doesn't care about resolution. They care about whether or not the game is fun and the controls are responsive.

It is a touch screen, it works with the plastic stylus or your finger. Its not as sensitive as the iPad. The graphics are horrible. Ours crashed every time my son used it. If your child is used to playing with your iPad or your kindle fire, they may be very disappointed with this.

There is a touch pad but not a touch screen. It's set up like a typical laptop.

It is compatible with iPads, but I don't know about touchscreen computers. Basically the rubbery tip is conductive like your finger, so the screen reads it as a finger instead of a hard tool. There's no sophisticated technology to sync it. It's basically a rubber fingertip on a pen.

Yes computer has a touch screen. Im a MAC guy,, I bought this just to see how I would like it. I found windows 8 to be difficult to use. Its been sitting in a storage for a long time..I regret buying it.

The other two are touchscreen enabled screens. Those screens are thicker and have more components in them. Spec wise they run the same it's just a difference of interface. Hope that helps. =)

Sorry, not touch screen, however this is super fast, connects fast everywhere. It is the most reliable computer I have ever owned, I bought an accer touch screen and it wasn't nearly as good as this one and it cost 300 dollars more.

I believe it is what your digitizer on the phone does when it reads your analog finger swipes and translates them into digital information that your phone can understand and respond to. A digitizer is your display and what makes your touch screen a touch screen this is not to be confused with a glass screen. They are different. It is possible to break the screen and not the digitizer.

I own an iPad 3 as well as the Samsung monitor. The monitor is not a mobile device so it's hard to make the comparison of your question. However, I think the monitor's touch surface will be more than 'durable' enough for desktop use. It's my first large screen touch device so it's a change from the iPad, iPhone, and other smaller mobile touchscreen devices. But it eases navigation with Win 8 when compared to a touchpad or mouse and keyboard. The screen itself appears substantial enough to handle long term desktop use. Hope this provides you some direction.

No real noticeable difference, hovering over the screen with the stylus still produces the same small circle, pressing the button on the stylus still makes the shortcut menu appear and the touches/long presses feel the same. Only difference is that you're pressing against a glass surface versus a screen protector so it's hard vs soft.

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.

Yes it is touchscreen and you could also use the buttons for the same thing. Some of the buttons act as shortcuts rather than going through the touchscreen. Basically you have more than one way to get to the same result. And the touchscreen is pretty sensitive so you don't have to press down, just touch.

no this in not a touch screen. I purchased this one with Windows 7 and another with windows 8. Even the one with Windows 8 is not tough screen. You must have a computer that is a "touch screen" along with running operating system Windows 8 and its "charms". The one that has windows 8 you must use a mouse the click on the "charms". The touch screens were just too expensive for me at the time. Good luck!!

There were no smart stylus options of any sort ever with this computer AFAIK, but standard iPad variety generic stylus will work with the touch screen.

This version includes Touch Controls as well. You can use the screen with the stylus and your finger tips if you wish. The other version only offers stylus input.

No it doesn't have a touch screen. It does have Windows 8 though. I have had mine for 3 years now, I use it 18 hours a day, and it is still going strong. It is a great buy if you can live without the touch screen.
