Tap to connect

After browsing around a computer store in Hanoi for a while, Tuan Dung (20 years old), a student atFPT University, stopped at the touchscreen laptop section, hesitating. Among the thousands of laptop models on the market today, those with integrated touchscreens and the ability to transform into compact tablets are particularly attractive to young people, including Dung, when choosing a new computer for studying and entertainment.

"Laptops have almost become indispensable, especially for students. Nowadays, many laptops with touch screens are available, meeting the criteria of being compact and modern for young people. I personally like using this type of computer because it's convenient for studying and working, and can also be transformed into a powerful tablet for entertainment," shared Tuan Dung.

Countless styles and features

Touchscreen technology, which decades ago was only seen in science fiction films, has now become almost commonplace in people's lives. From smartphones and tablets to cameras, laptops, and even some high-end TVs, touchscreens bring convenience to most users. Even laptops, a product traditionally used with mouse and keyboard controls, are now equipped with touchscreens.

According to research by Lao Dong Newspaper, laptops with touch screens have been on the market for about a decade, but they are becoming increasingly popular among young people. In various computer segments, there are always options for laptops with touch screens. From basic laptops with integrated touch screens for easier operation to "transformable" laptops that can fold the keyboard back for use, we have more and more choices when looking for a new companion for work and study.

Even some manufacturers like Microsoft and HP are producing devices running the operating system of conventional computers but in the form of tablets, making them extremely thin and lightweight, and convenient with detachable keyboards. Even Apple, a giant in the tech industry, can't escape this trend. Although Apple hasn't included touchscreens in its Mac computers, the "stars" of the computer world, they are trying to develop their iPad tablets, equipping them with the ability to replace classic laptops with a range of accessories such as detachable keyboards and styluses. It's clear that developments surrounding touchscreen functionality are becoming a new trend, combining touch input with traditional keyboards and mice, rather than eliminating them entirely.

For the benefit of the user

One of the biggest benefits of touchscreen technology is its intuitive and easy interaction with the device. Unlike using a traditional mouse and keyboard, touchscreens allow users to perform actions more naturally, such as tapping, swiping, zooming in and out, and rotating images, all with just their fingertips. This is especially useful in applications requiring flexibility and responsiveness, such as graphic design or image editing, where accuracy and speed are crucial. This simplicity of operation not only makes users feel more comfortable but also reduces the workload on the brain, helping to improve concentration and work efficiency.

Touchscreen displays not only improve work efficiency but also save space and costs for businesses. Instead of using multiple input devices like a mouse, keyboard, computer, and cash register, a touchscreen integrates all these functions into a single device. This is especially important in workspaces with limited space, such as retail counters or automated kiosks in shopping malls. Furthermore, using touchscreens minimizes maintenance and upgrade costs, as these devices can be easily and quickly updated with software without needing to replace hardware components.

Undeniably, touchscreens give technological devices a sophisticated and modern look. The presence of touchscreens not only enhances aesthetics but also reflects the product's advanced technology and class. In a business environment, using touchscreen devices can create a better impression on customers, helping businesses demonstrate professionalism and readiness to embrace the latest technological trends. This not only attracts customers but also elevates the company's position in the market.

Touchscreens also offer improved accessibility for users, especially those with special needs. With the support of technologies such as haptic or audio feedback, visually impaired individuals can easily use touchscreens to navigate menus and select options. Furthermore, modern touchscreen devices support multi-touch functionality, allowing users to simultaneously use multiple fingers to perform more complex functions such as zooming in, zooming out, or rotating images. This not only enhances the user experience but also optimizes work efficiency in applications requiring high precision and accuracy.
