Increasingly, laptop computers come with built-in touch screens. But if the model you want or are now using doesn't have one, there is a solution.
The $69 Neonode AirBar is a sleek, innovative device that lets you add affordable, accurate touch-screen capabilities to nearly any laptop.
The slender sensor wand attaches to a laptop screen or standalone monitor.
The AirBar works by bouncing infrared light off your fingers, interpolating where your fingers touch the surface of the screen. The AirBar is a sleek, thin, black bar. It comes in 13.3-, 14- and 15.6-inch options to fit your display and fits unobtrusively against the bezel beneath the screen.
AirBar makes it easy to move around in your presentations, it's a breeze to use for editing and really brings you closer to your work or fun.
This unique computer attachment won the Innovations Award for CES in 2017.
Many users say a touchscreen is more precise and offers more flexibility for multi-touch capabilities. But for those who want an inexpensive-but-serviceable alternative, the AirBar does the job.
