>>>You can Google [all-in-one touchscreen pc], some are reasonably priced even at 23".

>>>I have a few clients using them, they all bought them for the aesthetics/form factor, only one uses touch about 5% of the time. However, they are all Win7 FWIW.

>>>For me, one limitation with bigger screens is the rule of thumb I use, that I find it best to sit with my face 1.5x the screen diagonal size away from the screen. My arms can't comfortably reach the screen at ~23" or larger.

>>Good point. I'm sitting too far from a 21" to reach the screen at the moment. Odd in a way that we've adapted to viewing/reading screens in a vertical position when the most natural is (as when reading a book) about 45 degrees. Fairly large touch screens do have their place tho - take the POS systems in some bars and restaurants for example.
