MultiTouch Laptop for Windows 7 $1999

The Lenovo T400 is one of the laptops that have a MultiTouch screen, that’s probably one of the reasons why it’s so expensive.

The hardware specs are ok, but could be better for $1,599 – $1999 ($1599 without MultiTouch): Intel Core2 Duo with 2.40GHz and 2GB RAM. Lenovo T400 Hardware Specifications

Lenovo’s laptop has it’s own touchscreen interface. You can access it by imitating a double-click on the screen with your fingers. This menu will come up:
