AirBar by Neonode NNABC3100XU01 - Add Touchscreen to 14" Windows 10 Notebooks

AMAZING!! Turns an old Toshiba laptop into a touch screen computer. So far I have tried the product on a laptop with Win-7 and Win-10 OS. The Win-10 version loaded appropriate drivers instantly and I was up and running. Win-10 is designed for devices such as this, Win-7 is not and may not work (did not work for me). The sensor bar sticks to the bottom of your display screen via a magnet (on the sensor bar) and a metal plate (affixed with double sided tape). You might have to replace the tape so the sensor stays in place. PRO - Works great, I love it! You can use your finger or fingers to draw or use as a mouse. You can even use a feather, if you had one. Accuracy depends on your screen size in reference to the size bar sensor your have. Win-10 has a calibration option to try to fine toon the accuracy. If you reach outside the screen area but within the sensor, you will hear a loud beep alert. CON - The USB cable is on the right side only, and it is short. If you do NOT have a USB port on the right side of your monitor and that port is close to the monitor, you may have difficulty plugging in the device. The manufacturer recommends you get a USB extension cable; these are sold by the foot from most suppliers. I have found shorter USB extension cables, but they are too short. You CANNOT just flip the device around in order to use the USB ports on the other side of your computer. The max screen size is 15.6", no currently known plans to manufacture larger screen versions; though may I suggest 20.1" and 17".

Doesn’t work with my Mac as I thought-im bummed

After seeing this on Unbox Therapy, I bought this to make my computers (an Acer Chromebook and an ASUS X555YA Windows 10 laptop) touchscreen capable, since I have trouble at times with a mouse. Sadly, it really didn't work with either one. On the ASUS, every time I touched a text box, the on-screen keyboard would show on the screen. This was an inconvenience, because the keyboard worked just fine. Tapping the 'X' in the corner of the keyboard, then retapping the text box just brought the on-screen keyboard up again. Lather, rinse, repeat. It would not work at ALL with my Acer Chromebook, even though the box states it is compatible with Chrome OS. I tried multiple times and nothing happened when tapping on the screen. I then tried it on a Linux Mint 18 system we have lying around, and while it worked, it was VERY glitchy while on the screen. Pages would not scroll as it should, and would not tap on buttons I chose. I tried to forward an email to my daughter, and instead of tapping 'Forward' as I had, it tapped on 'Reply.' I do realize this is not made to work with Linux systems, but this was just an experiment to see if I had received a faulty bar. It's an awesome concept, but I think it'd be better to just save up to get an outright touchscreen system from the start.

at first, I thought that this was a bit buggy because it was clicking when I wasn't, but then I realized that I was hovering my finger just a bit over the screen and it was reading it. I have to remember that this isn't reading the force of my finger on the screen, but what is coming inside the range of the device. it is spot on though and has clicked when I wanted to, I got this to play among us on my computer and it is like playing it on my phone again. overall it is a great product. however. the bar is very easy to come off, it came off when I was plugging it in, I would have everything set up before you this. the bar coming off can make you miscllick on something that you don't want to

When I got this, it seemed amazing because it worked! But soon I found out that it does not work as I thought. I have a 1920x1080 laptop and this was too demanding for this gadget because I found that this does not respond to my touch as I wanted. Soooooo inaccurate. Whenever I try to click something like in the menu, it fails and opens another and another.... Plus, it won't work like a charm as it is advertizing, particularly on the edges of the screen, all of which makes me pretty impossible to close a single window. Of course, this is a very reasonably priced gadget, but I think you should know that it might not work as you expect when you have a high resolution laptop

Works good. May need some adjustment for each laptop. For example, the instructions say to mount the airbar 3 millimeters below the bottom edge of the screen, this is equal to the thickness of the cord attached to the airbar. When I did this, it works except for the top edge was off calibration, meaning I could not close windows that were full size because I could not reliably click the red X on the top right corner of the screen. Following the instructions got 95% of my screen accurate, but you should check the accuracy around all edges BEFORE mounting because the sticky magnets are difficult to remove after mounting. What worked for my laptop was mounting it very close to the bottom edge.....instead of 3 mm, it was more like a half a millimeter(see picture). Now calibration was spot on over 100% of the screen. Down side is when I touch any icons near the bottom edge, I'll end up touching the airbar. Not a big deal for me. Over all, I'm happy with the product.

It is a nice concept in that it is nice to be able to add touch screen functionality to a PC where it is not native. Unfortunately, I would not recommend purchasing this product now as Neonode has stopped producing and selling AirBar products. From the Neonode website: "Neonode has stopped producing and selling AirBar products." The paperwork mentions the ability to obtain extra magnets from Neonode. That is no longer applicable. They no longer send extra magnets. After initial installation, I was able to get it work the few times I tried using it. It seemed to work OK. Updating the firmware is difficult. Many of the links no longer work.
