Win8 is fantastic with a touchscreen however my experience has been entirely positive without one. I don't think there is a need for it, especially on a desktop. If you get the opportunity to get a touch based desktop at a limited cost then i'd go for it but I wouldn't shell out heaps for a touch based system just because. On tablets or laptops like the surface the touch screen makes a much bigger impact on the user, since it's a tablet format using the touch controls becomes much more natural and feels better. Having the surface cover/keyboard means that using it to type/input info is very effortless.
So IMO, on a desktop a touchscreen is a nice accessory but not essential to the W8 experience and on a tablet it's freaking awesome. That's the great interchangeability of W8, It feels great on all fronts, mobile and desktop. For anyone studying i'd look at the Windows RT version of Surface, comes with office pre installed. If I get a new portable for university. Although I want one it's unlikely since I'm doing design, tables aren't good for that, better for lectures encountered by psychology/law/chem etc students. |
