Neonode AirBar 15.6-inch Touchscreen Enabler for Laptops (Matt Black)

I just riddled worth my laptop and all those complaining about accuracy, just caliberate from the window s control panel section. Thats it! It didn't even miss one touch. The other key factor is you have align properly with the screen with it just 3mm below the laptop screen(take the usb wire as reference.). Installation video is on youtube. Enjoy the awesome feature of touch to your non touch laptop

The product unboxes with the airbar itself attached with a USB A to connect with the laptop. It's a simple way to enable your laptop to become a touchscreen. What it does is emit some rays from the bottom bezel of the laptop towards the top and when you touch the screen it calculates the point where the rays have been blocked by your finger and then processes the touch. Pros : 1. Easy to use and elegant looking. 2. Can be connected to any laptop via USB A. 3. The touch is accurate around the center of the screen and the touch can be recorded by simply hovering your finger over the screen rather than touching it. 4. It beeps when you place your hand over the top of the screen. 5. Can use any surface to record touches. For example, if you connect it to the laptop and place it on a horizontal surface instead of the bottom bezel of the laptop, then that surface is where you'd record your touch and the action would be taken on your laptop screen. Cons : 1. The magnet they use is slightly weak so the bar keeps falling of from the screen. 2. The sticky side of the magnet is also not so grippy but that's nothing that fevicol can't do. 3. Towards the top of the screen the touch reception is poor for obvious reasons. 4. Should be a little cost friendly.

On paper it sounded awesome to get this thing which magically makes any screen feel like touchscreen. I liked this idea a lot, but in reality, that's not the case and it stopped being fun very very quickly. - Accuracy is a problem. You can't draw, write or do much else with this, only use it for touch gestures like zoom and scroll, which you can already do with your laptop's trackpad. - Mounting and alignment is a very annoying problem. Package includes small magnets and the alignment has to be just right, otherwise touch will be strangely off. Making adjustments to the alignment after making magnets stick to the screen is also annoying. If placement is off, the airbar will get physically bent and detect ghost touches at the bottom of the screen. - Laptop displays that aren't made for touch screen, will feel flimsy, wobbly and might even have problems with physical scratches/etc. With a touchscreen, you need that physical feel, trying to precisely tap air while trying not to add scratches to the screen or make it wobble, simply defeats the whole point. This isn't airbar's fault though, but still a big flaw in the whole idea. - USB Cable is only available on the right side of the airbar, and it is very short. Now if your laptop doesn't have a USB port there, that's another problem. Good luck trying to carry USB hubs, which again defeat the whole point of having a portable device if you have to dock it all the time. - Build quality is plastic and weak, carrying it becomes a big hassle. It can easily get bent by the force of magnets it comes with if the alignment is wrong so you need a solid box to carry it around, again taking away from portability. I won't carry this around because I'm afriad it'll break accidentally (and very easily). - Cannot keep the airbar attached all the time because you can't close your screen's lid once this thing is on. Once again taking away from portability and the whole idea behind laptops. - Cannot hand this over to kids or anyone who isn't careful with tech, because anyone would full-force press the screen. That is what touch screen is. Leaving fingerprints, marks, scratches, etc on the physical screen of your laptop. - Windows and most other laptop OS interfaces are simply not made for touch screen anyway. They include a lot of detail and need precision clicks - using a mouse or touchpad is far more practical in almost all use cases, which makes airbar very very impractical. Conclusion: For the cost of an entire IPS monitor that's larger than 15.6" (Rs. 10k - 12k) , I'd say this purchase definitely wasn't worth it. If I had a chance to try this hands-on earlier, I wouldn't buy it myself. Still, definitely cool tech and nice for a party trick, and it does what it says on paper. For that, it is just OK. Giving 3 stars, I would give 2.5 if possible, because the build quality, carrying methods and mounting mechanism could be vastly better than it is in this state and for this price.

Incredible product. Touch accuracy has room for improvement but works as advertised. If you're planning to use this product to draw on a screen then you will be disappointed. This is mainly for individuals who might want a touch-based laptop to show off, or for semi-professionals who might use this in conjunction to timeline-scrubbing in video-editing or sound-editing software.

not working properly with my laptop compaq c700 incompatible the width of this product is big as compared to my laptop down width and magnets not fixing properly useless product

I loved the product. It work properly. It work same like normal touchscreen laptop. Instead of buying touchscreen laptop with more features is quite expensive, so this product give you the feeling of expensive laptop in cheaper price(depending on seller). I also loved the see through packing of this product. It good for drawing,editing,designing etc.

This is nice gadget. It's not working with Corel and photoshop. It's working good with Google Chrome, and other browser, paint brush, and zoom in, zoom out, and windows Explorer. All over good product. And an Amazon.. on time delivery.

Converting your laptop to touch is a magical achievement but however it seems to be overpriced in India. Months back I pre-ordered it at $49 from the official site but upon it's launch, I was directed to Amazon.in listing here. There are fews which makes me not to use this product regularly. The USB cable is too short and my Lenovo Z51 laptop has USB ports on the other ends. Moreover, the USB cable is on the site where we rest our mouse, so that most of the times it causes discomforts. Airbar is not so thin. Due to its thickness, you can't close the laptop, if you need to do so, you will have to detach the Airbar.

Increíble producto, 100% recomendado, funciona perfectamente en computadoras con Windows, excelente respuesta al tacto y fácil instalación, uno de los mejores gadgets

Ottimo, veramente eccellente, touch perfetto senza nessun ritardo forse anche meglio di uno scherzo capacitivo visto che posso utilizzare il computer con qualsiasi cosa e non per forza c9n le dita, veramente stupefacente, oltre ad utilizzare con il computer, studiandoci un po si riesce ad usare in altri modi con lo smartphone e tablet. Consiglio vivamente

Très bon matériel et fonctionne super bien sur mon "Gamer Erazer ", l'effet est immédiat et ce sur n'importe quelle prise Usb 2 ou 3 de votre ordi et avec absolument Windows 10 (cindition requise). La sensibilité de l'écran est énorme au touché, vraiment magique et chouette comme matériel. Seul petit bémol, le aimants fournis avec sont trop léger pour le poids de l'airbar, donc pour ma part j'ai mis un ptit morceau de papier collant 3M par dessus et tout est ok depuis. à chacun sa méthode lol... A conseiller... De plus le fournisseur est super sympa, et vous offre son aide en cas de problème avec la commande. Encore un grand merci pour tout. ;-)

Very impressed indeed. Has breathed new life into using my laptop. Works perfectly with single finger and two finger multi-touch over the entire 15.6 inch screen of my Medion Erazer laptop running windows 10 64 bit with anniversary updates installed. No driver installation was required, the Airbar worked instantly when first connected and has no discernible lag between touch and response. As the USB connecting cable is on the right hand side of the device, you need an available USB port within approximately 25 cm (length of the USB cable) of the bottom right hand side of your screen.

I have a touchscreen laptop and a secondary portable monitor (15.6 inch) that isn't a touchscreen that I kept poking out of habit. Attach this thingamabob to the external monitor and to the computer's USB port and I now have a second touchscreen. Admittedly I have an odd use case. But I'm wholly pleased with it.
