Note:

I have an HP TouchSmart - one of the reasons I bought it is that the touch-screen component was made by NextWindow.    Nextwindow was the company responsible for the large touch-screen display I used for a couple of  projects when I was taking HCI and Ubicomp classes during the first part of 2007. It had the best resolution and touch response of all of the displays I could get my hand on at the time. 


NextWindow screens can be found in new computers and all-in-ones. These include the  Dell Studio One 19, Dell SX2210T the HP TouchSmart 300, 600, & 9100, the Sony L Series, the Medion X9613, the  NEC's ValueStar W All In One, Leveno A70z All-in-On PC More information regarding Nextwindow can be found on the company's press release page.
