APEN TOUCH 8 I $99.99 If you have upgraded your laptop to run Windows 8, and found navigating the new interface challenging, frustrating or even maddening, you are not alone. Without a touch screen tablet or laptop, Windows 8 is not user friendly. However, there is a device to help maximize your Windows 8 experience. The Apen Touch 8 is a wireless stylus "pen" that works with any laptop that has Windows 8 and a screen 17 inches or smaller. The Apen Touch 8 is as simple to use as click, connect and touch. The pen connects wirelessly to a receiver that clips on the side of the laptop. Plugging the receiver into a USB port allows the user to perform touch screen functions built in to Windows 8. Simply slide, swap or drag to operate, browse through files, images or web pages. You can also use the Apen Touch 8 to take notes in your own handwriting, sign or annotate documents, draw or add personal touches to photos or presentations. The Apen Touch 8 even allows handwritten notes to be transferred into text.
