How many points/fingers on the Thinkpad T410S touchscreen ?

[victorvictor]

Hello

I know that Thinkpad T410s can have a touchscreen. I'd like to know:

1) Can you confirm me that it is a N-Trig Touchscreen?

2) Can you tell me if it is a multitouch or multipoint touchscreen, and how many points/fingers are supported? I'd like to have a 4 fingers technology; i've read from Lenovo web site that is is a new technology. So if I by a T410s in january or february 2011, will I have that 4 fingers technology on my touchscreen? .

Thank you very much

Thank you for the answer

Can anyone from Lenovo confirm this answer?

I must say that it was NOT POSSIBLE to contact Lenovo for technical assistance (neither on the french web-site, neither on the US web-site); after about 1 hour of search in the website, i couldn't find any valid email and  it seemed to me like a dead end; finally i sent an email to another department and i got no answer at all...

This is very disapointing. Your answer is the very first answer i have now :-)

Thank you again

Hi and welcome to the forum Victor!

While there are lenovo employees sharing their expertise on the forum, this is not official channel to contact support, the best way to reach them is through phone.

Hope this helps.

I don't work for Lenovo, but I can say for sure that my T410s supports up to 4 finger touchs (5 don't work).

Hello

I answer to myself

I just got the Lenovo Thinkpad T410s, and it works just as I wanted; i can confirm that its multitouch screen support at least 4 fingers input (maybe even 5, i still have to check);

For those who are interested, here are the specifications of the touchscreen :

ID 1b96:0001 N-Trig Duosense Transparent Electromagnetic Digitizer

I'm using Ubuntu Linux; for people interested in having a true multitouch in Ubuntu, this seems to best the best laptop for now; furthermore, the T410s is an "Ubuntu certified" laptop :

*great* laptop!
