For those with TOUCHSCREEN laptops (I have an Asus Ultrabook 15.6 Touchscreen), does it interfere with the responsiveness of the touchscreen?

No, it works just fine with my touchscreen laptop, and keeps the grease from my fingers off of the screen.

Mine does not stay on, I cleaned my screen applied it and the next day it was off. So I never put it back on.

the screen activates just getting close to it with hands. I always made a little pressure when touching the incons on the screen; I'm not sure if they work just touching w/o pressure. I check tomorrow and will let u know.

I'm having this problem as well and so does many other people on the web. The touchpad and keyboard behaves erratically. touchpad is pretty much useless so I have to resort to using external USB mouse. This laptop needs to be recalled. Can someone sue Asus to recall this laptop? Last Asus laptop I'm going to buy because of poor service.

Yes, is FAR stiffer than most machines. I used to use the touchpad 'click', but now i use a mouse with this laptop or the touchscreen in some cases

FWIW, at a Best Buy in another city, their ASUS notebooks had two finger scrolling working properly and the icons showing in the tray area. Must be something in the setup wrong at the store near me. I finally opted for the Gateway EC5801u which is also a thin, light, longlife model like these ASUS machines. It uses a Synaptic touchpad with a spiral scrolling gesture that I've quickly come to like. Swirl your finger round and round in a circle and it scrolls like controlling an ipod.

I did not notice this issue with mine. I have using this laptop for about 6 weeks, so far I did nit see that issue. But I am not using it everyday.

I can only say that mine responds to very light touches. You can try plugging into a different usb port and let it reload the drivers, but I have not found any settings for touch sensitivity. You may want to talk to their customer service and get it replaced. Sorry I can't help more.

I have the same issue with my Gateway PC touch screen using a Microsoft wireless mouse. If I clean the monitor screen with a micro fiber cloth it stops. I don't know if it is static or what. I also disconnected the touch screen since i never use it anyway.

For me the touchpad is smooth and responds nicely. I do pair mine though with a wireless mouse often or I'll use a stylus. Hope this helps! It is a great ultrabook!

Ubuntu 13.10 touchscreen works sometimes palm detection on the touchpad is useless, I turn off tap to click and it works AWESOMELY!

Very interesting. My former computer developed the same symptoms which is why I purchased the Aspire. Many told me I was touching the touchpad, but it still happened when I was alert and very cautious. It seems this problem is not unique but written up on the net. Google "jumping cursor problem." There is also a freeware program called, "Touch Freeze," which I found works, but not reliably. Hope this contributes toward a solution, JB

Touchscreen. No. The touchscreens have operational issues when wet (sweat, rain, etc.).

It does not affect it. The pen takes precedence. if the pen is no where near you can use your fingers for touch. Honestly touch is not amazing so use your laptop or mouse as a gesture tool.

Rarely, if ever. Besides, you can turn off the touchpad if it bothers your typing. I believe there might be an option to adjust the sensitivity of the touchpad as well.

I have about a 15.6 even though my laptop is not a Touchsmart, but it didnt fit mine at all. It didn't snap on at all.
