Notebook with Touch: Products Endangered
Not widespread because of the additional cost, the traditional notebook combined with touch screen have experienced a reduced popularity and are intended for a quick exit from the market. Nothing changes instead for the 2-in-1 and convertible. With the debut of Windows 8 operating system various manufacturers of notebook systems have started to offer models with display touch type.
This feature allows you to make more suitable, at least on paper, notebooks using this operating system in a very marked benefit from the presence of a touch screen panel.
The market success of these notebooks was surprisingly limited, because of the additional cost of the touch panel compared to a traditional type. In a market that sees a continued decline in prices include features such as a touch panel in a notebook leads to an economic impact on the final cost is too high to be the strategy followed by the manufacturers.
From this, according to what is anticipated by Digitimes, a return to basics with more and more notebooks with touch screen display and options of this type that are almost disappearing from the lists. Digitimes shows that orders for models of this type are almost gone and it is preparing to release the stores from the last panels available.
I honestly do not feel the lack of traditional notebook with a touch interface, in the light of how to use typical of these devices that are very different from those of a tablet.
A different conclusion we reach considering various proposals hybrids, well summarized by the concept of 2-in-1: These are systems that combine the design and functionality of a typical notebook the ability to power down the screen in order to turn them into a tablet. In this case, the display will continue to be touch-type, so as to better exploit the flexibility of use overall. The additional cost of the panel is in this case justified by the characteristics of these products, resulting to be a technical element whose presence is mandatory for use in tablet mode.
