How many touch points does this screen have? Windows 8 requires 10-point touch.

Don't know how many points but I purchased this monitor specifically for Win 8 and it picked it up on plug in and has been working beautifully ever since. I can recommend it with no reservations at all.

This monitor is not Windows 8 certified and does not have the required minimum of 5 touch points.

No this computer is not touch screen. With Windows 8, if you have other touch screen techy stuff, you might be better of than I am. I am switching to Windows 7 ASAP because the 8 is a totally new route to learn.

It is win 8, but sadly no touchscreen, making the Win 8 interface useless ;/

Don't do this. Windows 8 brings a lot to the tablet; the new start menu may seem silly on your desktop computer, but on a tablet with a touch screen it is a compelling improvement that you will (really!) quickly come to appreciate.

The one I bought does not. And it's problem, because Windows 8 is awkward without a touchscreen.

I don't know but I'm getting ready to re-install it after not using it for 6-8 months, on my new laptop with touchscreen and Win8. I can comment when I do it.

As I answer before I can't tell because your laptop is turned off, I had Ace window 7, and it wasn't touch screen, as far I know window 8 is touch screen, u need to ask Google or call Amazon Customer service

Yes. Windows 8 does not require the touch screen to function but is designed to work with one. You can just as easily use your mouse and keyboard for typical functions.

This laptop does NOT have touch screen, which makes it a bit awkward to work with Windows 8 operating system. Since Windows 8 was designed to flows better with touchscreen device like a tablet, you may want to choose a laptop with touchscreen if that's what you are after. Personally, with a touch pad and keyboard I think anyone can operate this computer just fine.

It depends on the OS you have installed. For my Windows 7 system the drivers were already onboard. When 1st connected Windows searched its own driverbase and asked me to verify the device. Then all was good to go. I imagine Win8 would be about the same. Note that for the touch function to work you must also connect a usb port & the cable supplied with the monitor is fairly short. You might want to have a 6 to 10 foot usb cable on hand to make hooking up easy.

No it's not touchscreen, but it's Windows 8 and an amazing purchase! Does that help?

Touch pad scrolling is enabled, and supports the standard windows 8 gestures like two finger scrolling and pinch-to-zoom, etc. A lot of others are supported but can't remember off the top of my head. Samsung has published new drivers for the touchpad as well as most other hardware on the computer since the posting of the majority of these reviews.

Both. This particular model can be purchased as either touch or non-touch. I have a non-touch which is not compatible with Windows 8. I was advised to uninstall W8 & load W7, but then discovered this unit too low end to pull that off.

I like 7, I have 8 on a laptop but since I do not have a touch screen on my desktop 7 is very stable and gives me NO PROBLEMS. 8 is the same but I have the touch screen, but it sure does take a little time to get used to 8.

No it doesn't have a touch screen. It does have Windows 8 though. I have had mine for 3 years now, I use it 18 hours a day, and it is still going strong. It is a great buy if you can live without the touch screen.

Hello, It is a very good computer, but it comes without software. I have used it whit windows 7 and I had to download and run all the drivers. You can download it from the intel web page directly. I suppose that the touch screen should work with Win 8, the hardware (motherboard, CPU, memories, HardDrive, ETC) is the same.
