Laptop Thoughts: iBuypower Offers Multitouch Gaming Laptop

"Veteran gaming-PC company iBuypower is offering the first multitouch gaming laptop, along with a workaround for the complete dearth of multitouch games. The 15.6-inch MT20X features a capacitive screen with glass overlay to take full advantage of Win7’s multitouch support. All the neat features we’ve come to associate with multitouch—finger-based dragging, scrolling, zooming, rotating—are performed with smoothness and precision on the MT20X’s screen. But neat as this is, it felt a bit unnatural to use on a conventional laptop."

I'm just not so sure about the ergonomics of long-term usage of a touchscreen in an upright configuration like this. I can't see this is being comfortable or even practical for any type of long term work on any computer. But kudos for trying something new anyway.
