Targus Touch Pen adds touch capabilities to any Windows 8 laptop

January 30, 2013

It's official: navigating Windows 8 with your mouse, well, bites. But do you really need to chuck your existing laptop and buy one with a touchscreen? Maybe not. The Targus Touch Pen converts any laptop LCD into a touchscreen, albeit one that relies on a special stylus for input. It works like this: You plug a small receiver into one of your laptop's USB ports, then stick it to the side of the display. After a one-time calibration (performed within Windows 8's settings--there's no special software required to use the pen), you're good to go. The thick, black, comfy stylus could easily be mistaken for a business pen, save for the brush-style bristles on the end. You use it exactly as you'd expect, by tapping and/or swiping on the screen.
