Install a touch screen on your Netbook

Turn your Netbook into a touch-screen device for under a $100

It’s fairly well agreed upon that touch technology will be the next big craze in the world of tech. The speculation surrounding the imminent Apple Tablet (or whatever they happen to call it) has been enormous. Many touch-screen devices, including tablet-style laptops are in production but, like all good new technologies, they’re expensive. Enter the DIY approach. Why buy a new device when you can take that still relatively new netbook and using a kit such as the one offered from FidoHub.com you can transform it.

Everyone loves the transportability of Netbooks but many are frustrated with the small size. One area which inevitably takes a hit is the touchpad. Without getting a bigger computer, the answer to this problem is to make better use of your space. With these sub $100 kits and a few hours of fun (for the nerdier of us) you’ll be opening up a world of possibilities.
