Getting a MacBook in a couple of months![]()
Ex-janitor. Might pop in from time to time, otherwise you can grab all my information from http://jamesy.me.uk/
Actually I think a touch screen isn't far off. iPhone and iPod Touch seem to be pointing towards it. Apple have the technology although would have to supe it up a bit to work on a grander scale. I'd recommend they make something which can act like a Tablet if it's connected to something like an iMac or MacBook but then can work alone as a normal laptop.
Microsoft have had touch screen computers around for years now. I think it was 2001 or 2002 that all tourist boards in Scotland got touch screen XP computers. Most are still in place however a lot are being replaced with normal XP machines.
I still personally dislike touch screen on a large scale though as there is no real need for it. Things like phones and mobile devices I can see why as space is limited. However looking at the MB Air you can cleary see that you can get full sized keyboard and controls in a very small machine now.

There's a difference however comparing the surface to the iMac (which is intended for personal use).
I am a Mac fan, do not misunderstand.
The iMac
3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB memory
500GB hard drive1
8x double-layer SuperDrive
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS with 512MB
£1,389.00
The Packard Bell
Processor - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
Processor Spec - 2.40GHz, 8MB Cache
Memory - 3GB
Hard Drive - 320GB
Display - A0C 20" Widescreen TFT Monitor
£499.99 (free shipping)
Not only is the PC almost three times as cheap as the iMac, but it is a QUAD core, with an extra gigabyte of RAM.
I'm not crazy, ask my toaster.
Wow very nice.
