I just installed a touch panel on my latptop. It works beautifully! I hate the touchpad so much, and this is enormously better. And installation wasn't 100% trouble-free, but it was still quite easy to do overall; the problems I had were related to my computer instead of this new part.

I think it's going to drop my battery life by about 5%, which is worth the trade-off. And the module that runs it does get a bit warm, so there's a new hotspot in the thing (I tucked it down in the lower-left corner).

Still, I'd recommend considering it for any laptop for which they make one. It's good stuff.

It's an overlay (but installed internally, so it doesn't seem to be an overlay) that turns a regular laptop screen into a touch screen. No more using the touchpad. No more need to carry a USB mouse. Just touch the screen.

You can turn off that annoying clicking on every touch, though.
