Thread: Refurb Fujitsu P1610 for $199.00 - touch and pen

I have one of these. Was trying to figure out how to not have to use the pen as the touch device.

Depending on where you use it and how, TURBOCAD6 took off the OEM digitizer and bought a separate touchpanel. I use an external pointing device (Saitek X-52) so I can use the pen for cursive handwriting recognition in class. I'd replace mine with a capacitive touchscreen in a heartbeat, if I knew how to find one. The options are endless.

I thought this one had a capacitive touch? (see the review, specs here. No digitizer on this one).

So you can use your finger already, and the screen is not that bad, compared to your run of the mill std edition car screen that is.

Edit: BTW, what you say is true, Gizmo, for the CarPC he has on the FX, but he did an install on a friend's Escalade too, where this tiny beast (9.13" x 7.32") is hidden in a drawer...

I thought it was a resistive 4-wire under the Windows TabletPC Spec.

You're right about TURBOCAD6's other build, but I just think of that as a laptop in a drawer, very little "CarPC"-type connectivity.

Hum, you're right, maybe it's resistive.
