Posted on September 18, 2012 by Mitosh Mora // Apple

Everyone around the world is looking for a possibility for having a touch-screen desktop at his or her place, but it seems impossible. When it comes to Apple, we have come across some point that says that the iMac would get the Touchscreen desktop. As for now, it’s really not possible for you to get the new Touchscreen technology on your iMac, but can be possible with a third party.

We already know that, Axiotron Modbook is the solution for MacBook, but having that it becomes tougher because, you are not able to use your keyboard. For people who are having an iMac, we have come out with “Trol Touch,” which is nothing but a resistive touchscreen panel. The gadget is good, but really hard to afford. This touchscreen is specially made for a 21.5-inch model. This will cost you for $199 at Amazon. This is not it, but this one also supports a multi-touch.

Let’s see the overall detail about this device.

Hardware & Installation:

This new Zorro Macsk works in really different manner. This one has a light plastic and also have a metal frame with the bearing for the infrared transmitter that is around 4.6mm thinner. Having this with your iMac, is like you can get it all-in-one computer. Along with this, they have also made a better design by not giving an extra sheet of glass or even plastic. This comes along with the protective film. With all this, the package has a metallic stylus with a soft rubber.

It has a TMD touch that has a list of 7 color on its website. It is really simple for installing. You will see an USB cable that you need to plug it to your iMac USB port and then wait for only 15 seconds. The best part is that, there is no need of any software.

Whereas, the design is made in such a way that it does not block any of the holes and ports of your iMac. With this, they also have made an opening for a webcam plus on its LED indicator.

Performance:

This gadget was made keeping in mind about the Lion. It has a 21.5-inch display. If you want to have a right click then you need to make it by holding down your figure for two seconds. When we have performed a test on multi-touch, the two figure scrolling was working smoothly. But when it came for zooming and rotation, it was a bit tedious task to carry out. But, if you want the performance much better, then you can make a firmware update and make it better.

If you face any trouble, then it is really better that you go through the user manual. On the user manual they have provided all guides that you really want to have.

Overall this is really an amazing gadget that you can have with you. If you want to have a better touchscreen experience on your iMac, then you can try this.
