Acer sees touchscreen laptops to dominate PC market

  • Taiwan: Saturday, December 29 - 2012 at 02:52

Acer has said Windows 8 touch-screen laptops are eventually to dominate the PC market, although the operating system may take a while to win over computer users, Digitimes has reported. An internal research by the Taiwan-based PC maker showed that after using a product with a touch-screen for more than 20 minutes, users naturally gravitate to touch, Acer president Jim Wong told the daily. "This indicates that touchscreen control is an irreversible trend," he said. Windows 8 is a "new system that consumers must learn and the learning process will prevent the operating system from taking off quickly," he said. Wong, however, argued that criticism of the touch interface has been unfair.
