I don’t know…

I’m looking at this thing, and i’m just not a 1000% convinced that this is a touch screen.

Perhaps if they mentioned it in the title another dozen times or so… maybe that would ease my concerns 🙂

there is a touch-y version, based on finding this https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807216877745.html – the 4th item “15.6 Inch Touch” for $97.

i think this is a fantastic deal – if listing is correct indeed – ordered one and will know for sure next week.

Did some research, the way this works is pretty much “Windows only” – you plug over USB and it’s recognized as HID device, (multi)touch pad. Then switch Windows to “tablet” mode in settings for more tablet-y experience. Any other platform (Mac, linux…) i imagine at most can hope for glorified mouse experience.

Will need to plug 3 things:

HDMI for the videoUSB for the touchpadpower to the other USB-C “power” port
I expect this to “just work” and not need drivers, based on coming to Windows as 2 different devices it already knows how to deal with – HDMI monitor and USB touchpad. ’cause there will be no support coming from JSHIX, a company for which i could not find a web site

I’ve collected a few of the non-touch monitors by now… too many damn sales 🙂

With the exception of one of them, they all pretty much work with just usb-c cable, when connected to the laptop.

Power, video, sound, etc. All one cable.

I’m hoping that this one will work the same.

But let’s see what shows up 🙂

This touchscreen would nicely complement the $50 mini PC i got a few months ago from this deal https://plasticfantasticdeals.com/generic-mini-pc-atom-z8350-4-64gb-emmc/ – i am currently using it over RDC (Microsoft’s included for LAN, Chrome Remote Desktop when away from home) since lazy to switch HDMI inputs

I admit it was a bit hard to make it run well with that weak CPU, had to tune a few things (turn off pagefile, disable Microsoft Defender – esp. the real-time feature, flip a few services away from autostart) – but for a determined owner, i was able to make it run Windows 10 reasonably well.

There’s one failure i found so far – if inserting SSD in the SATA bay, when putting that disk under load the controller croaks (gets “fixed” by physical power cycling), so i guess extra storage only as external drives for this guy

It may be too late for this one, but next time you’re playing around with a an underpowered mini, try the Enterprise LTSC version of Win10 (or 11). I believe 2021 is the latest version for 10.

LTSC comes stripped from any of the usual MS nonsense and spyware, it updates only when you tell it to, and security updates are for 5-10 years from release.

The IoT LTSC version is specifically meant to run on low powered devices, and has support for 10 years from release.

Buying one of these can be a pain, but if you look around, there are plenty of legit places that host the ISOs.

If you need the links, ask me on Discord.

Thanks for the tip! – i’ll keep this in mind and research LTSC when the fancy strikes for another mini PC. It was hard for me to fathom but here we are… <$100 mini PC with usable Windows on it

Okay – so i received today the touch-y screen and it has indeed a TOUCH SCREEN!

I have to admit, when i received and opened it, my heart sunk since nowhere does it discuss the touch screen functionality. The generic white box says “portable monitor” and nowhere in the 6 pages of passport-sized manual does it discuss touch screen. Only the (pseudo-UPC) barcode sticker on the side mentions “Touchscreen”

But after connecting the 3 cables as planned (power adapter, mini HDMI and USB to the mini PC), it did work as my original expectations – and just as i imagined, as far as Windows was concerned, those were 2 different devices – monitor (over HDMI) and touchpad (over USB). Yet it all worked together to the effect of touch-screenme poking with my fingers worked like on Windows tablet.

Now, further experiments confirmed the monitor can be powered from the USB data port too – and it uses ~0.35 A (both when Power or Data port), that’s <2W. So separate power i ponder, it may only be meant when display for a phone.

And i tried plugging into MacBook (Thunderbolt/USB 4) to use it with all-in-one cable. At first it only recognized “wch.cn touchscreen” device but then it dawned on me not all USB-C cables are created the same, so i tried different cables and luckily the box included an appropriate (USB-C DisplayPort?) cable, with which MacOS recognized a 2nd, “ASL” FHD display. And the touch screen feature worked too, so indeed a single cable can be enough.
The only flaw i have found so far is monitor’s own OSD system menus – those are in Chinese! To tune brightness/contrast/gamma and such, one has to read Chinese characters. I did not see a way to change the language, so i’ll have to translate with my phone what i am looking at
