With prices of touch screens going down, it is no wonder that there are now touch screen products that make it possible for you to turn your point-and-click netbook into a touch screen one.
If you have time on your hands and 0 to spare, it would be very easy to do this. The very latest in this kind of product is TouchKit, which is manufactured by the Taiwan-based Hoda Technology. The TouchKit allows you to add an interactive touch screen overlay to the LCDs of popular netbooks like the ASUS Eee PC 900/901 series and Acer Aspire One, MSI Wind U100 and the ASUS Eee PC 1000 family.

Installing may seem difficult at first. First you have to remove the screws around the netbook's LCD housing and the bottom of its chassis. Then you pop off the keyboard and remove the housing below the keyboard. Then you need to find the double-sided tape in the touch screen kit, and put it around the LCD to hold the touch panel in place. Then you have to detach the LCD module from the housing, and detach the Webcam's cabling harness so you can replace it with the touch screen harness to connect to the motherboard.
Although there is no soldering involved, there are many steps before you get to the point where you can use your netbook as a touch screen, and you progressively expose your netbook's innards in the process.
Thus far, TouchKit seems to be the only touch screen conversion product available in the market today. Properly installed, you will have an analog touch screen with a 4096x4096 resolution. The response time is said to be less than 10ms.
The Advantages Of Touch Screen
The main advantage of touch screen is that you can handle almost all your netbook tasks solely with your hand. Otherwise you would need a mouse or your touchpad. It basically makes things easier for you as a netbook user. Touch screen is very useful for tapping choices in dialog boxes, like in the case of multiple choice surveys.
Having touch screen netbook will also impress your friends, although you really should be more concerned on how installing a touch screen could void your netbook's warranty.
Among the many netbook's available in the market today, there are only a few models that have touch screen. Two of these are Intel's Classmate and Gigabyte's M912V. Both models have a swivel touch screen, thus making them easier to handle.
