Choosing between a desktop computer and a laptop, not all PC users know about the existence of a third option - the touch monoblock. In fact, he was the ancestor of all of us a familiar computer, but significantly changed and for a long time disappeared from the user's field of vision.
What is a candybar with touch screen?
This is an advanced and modern miracle of technology - a kind of symbiosis of the system unit, LCD screen, and touch panel control. All this fit a stylish case made of metal, plastic and glass and weighs from 8 kg and above. The weight is considerable, as for a mobile gadget, but here as a desktop device it fits perfectly. Often the touch candy bar is positioned as a gaming one, but it has a much broader spectrum of action, although playing it on video games is a complete pleasure.
By touching the display, which has a size of 27-28 inches, it is easy to carry out all the functions familiar to us, which are habitually performed by the mouse. Some models, such as the Lenovo touchscreen, have a very large range of angle - from 5 to 90 degrees, which allows you to set it for any kind of activity - viewing photos and video files, working with text documents, use as a graphics editor, and game consoles.
The technology of action control available in this device with the help of a web camera allows even without touching the screen to perform any actions with the help of gestures.
