Do win 8 &amp; any touch screen monitor work fine here ? &amp; what about stylus usage here, does it need a driver in order to be recognized ?

Hello, It is a very good computer, but it comes without software. I have used it whit windows 7 and I had to download and run all the drivers. You can download it from the intel web page directly. I suppose that the touch screen should work with Win 8, the hardware (motherboard, CPU, memories, HardDrive, ETC) is the same.

HDMI, VGA, and DVI are supported. You must also have a free USB port to support the touch capabilities.

I have been using the ViewSonic touchscreen for about a year. It works okay but you still need the mouse for some things. I've never tried to use a stylus. No reason why it shouldn't work. It works with any impedance screen.

Onenote, Some Lenovo apps(Support, Kindle, Settings, Quicksnip, app shop, system update), Lenovo driver settings, all the basic windows 8 software, skype, Free trial to office, Evernote free trial(Onenote is far better due to offline availability), and I could go on it's a pretty neat package but there's A LOT of free stuff on the store with upgradability that's well worth it. If you're into sketching I highly recommend getting sketchbook express the stylus that comes with it works well with SE. Also if you do plan to get the tablet make sure to update everything drivers, intel graphics accelerator, and the apps before you go to windows 8.1. It will make your experience with it a whole helluva lot better. Cheers!

No - so you cannot take advantage of the Windows 8 touch-screen functionalities on this laptop

Mine is not a touch screen, but I think touch is available as an option. Windows 8 I believe.

No, it is only a display/monitor with touch screen and pen. You will need a computer with dvi video port and USB.

I had the same issue and what I was told was that Windows 7 was not really built to be touch screen. I used the keyboard doc before my tablet became a bookmark and loved it. I would suggest either upgrading to Windows 8 or investing in a keyboard.

I purchased the unit without a monitor. I have a 26 inch led monitor which works fine. If I had to purchase a new monitor I would go with a Touch Screen since windows eight has that capability.

I'm pretty sure you can get around that by downloading the driver directly. Try doing a search for them. The tablet will work plug and play, but with fewer features I think. I actually downloads some Wacom drivers too, based on something I read on a forum. Short answer-- it shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, you can but DO NOT LOAD IT ! I purchased this computer in February along with an Acer touch screen monitor. All was fine until I installed Windows 8.1 , when all hell broke loose! This update made my touch screen almost unusable , changed all my settings, froze my computer. I spent 2 days trying to fix all the problems , then phoned support , who advised uninstalling and going back to Windows 8, which I did ,with no further problems. It seems Windows 8.1 does work when it has been preloaded before purchase, but there seem to be numerous glitches in the software when installed later. DO NOT DO IT! Yes, you can but DO NOT LOAD IT !

The computer itself works well; however, it has Windows 8 installed, and it is not friendly towards Windows 8. It seems one needs a touchscreen if you are going to work with Windows 8 and this one does not have it.

Yes. You have to install the windows driver software for the screen to work at all. But once you do that, as soon as you plug in the USB cable it just works, like any other dual monitor setup, including drag and drop from screen to screen.

Its very easy to setup. It actually sets up within your operating system. I use windows 7. It works great. Its a very well made monitor. I highly recommend it. Find the setup in control panel under pen tablet touch .
