Normal to touchscreen conversion

[Fear Deer]

Ello there guys.

I have around a dv2000 HP laptop, with a 15" screen it seems to me, what could i do to convert it into touchscreen? Where can i find a little pelicule to place on top of the screen which will cause it to act like a touchscreen? Or can i find for sale a touchscreen for that laptop?

Sugestions please?

If you dont have anything ontopic to say please refrain.

With the DV series, you're better off fisting your screen and getting a more reliable laptop XD

 

/on topic.

 

Get yourself a navisis laptop pen pc tablet. Apparently, they're one of the easiest ways to make it touchscreen.

Laptops themselves don't really ship with touchscreens unless you're spending big dolla. You would honestly be better off buying a little graphics tablet if you want to have freedom of movement.

 

I use a touchscreen at work, and it's not all it's cracked up to be.

Lmao true^^ it was my sisters laptop. I had an Asus X50SL iirc, which i gave to her, when she moved out of portugal, as her laptop, this dv 2000 is not reliable.

HP recognized a fabric deffect, on the motherboard and graphics chip. It had the motherboard replaced 3 or 4 times during warranty^^ HP prolonged the warranty (long gone) for 1 year, instead of refunding / fixing the problem definitely. Also, the CPU and the GPU share teh same heatsink, which leads to a little fan; that itself promotes component heating. The GPU chip iirc is a BGA, which promotes even more heating!! Anyways, i re applied thermal paste on the cpu and GPU, and put a little coin on the bottom paste of both of them (not the part that connects to the heatsink), and temps have gone down to 80ºc idle, from 100ºc^^ I also fixed the USB ports, conclusion: very UNRELIABLE laptop, but meh...

About that navisis kit, cant find it for sale on any store nearby..hmmm. Id be interested in something a bit more compact though... :p Maybe the best is just not to invest much on this laptop, or nothing at all, beacuse i expect it to give in at any time.

With the future release of Windows 8 you will see a lot of competing laptops and transformers (tablets that can be docked into a keyboard to appear as a laptop) at various price points. If you want something good, I'd recommend you wait. If you want to hack something together and use an older OS, you're experience is going to be dareisay quite bad.

The purpose of it would be to use Win8 :P As the laptop is running Win8 CP atm :)
