Troll Touch Intros iMac Touchscreen

Troll Touch Intros iMac Touchscreen

by , 8:25 AM EST, December 4th, 2007

Troll Tech announced the immediate availability of integrated touchscreen systems for Apple's 20 and 24-inch aluminum iMacs on Tuesday. The displays use analog resistive touchscreen technology and support input from a stylus, finger tip, or gloved hand, and do not dramatically alter the appearance of the computer.

20-inch iMac systems with the touchscreen pre-installed are priced at US$2,299 with a 2.0GHz processor, or $2,599 with a 2.4GHz processor. 24-inch iMac systems cost $3,399 for a 2.4GHz model, or $3,899 for a 2.8GHz model.

Troll Tech will also install a touchscreen in customer provided iMacs. The 20-inch upgrade is priced at $1,099, and the 24-inch upgrade costs $1,499.

Subject: Troll Touch scam

Do not get anything from them. I had my worst time with that "one man" business. I got a 30" Apple Cinema Display that stoped working (the touchscreen) 2 month after I got it at a cost of $5000!!!! The touchscreen had an air bubble and the owner didn't reply any mail after he decided "it was my fault". The thing is that the "heat" of the screen damaged the low quality touch screen surface. I had 2 iMacs from them as well and they stoped working 4 and 5 months later. I contacted their software provider because I thout it was a driver problem. You can find the manofacturer in the software info. For my surprice they broke relationship with him because Troll Touch never paid, the software company is in England and they sent me new drivers until we found out it was a hardware malfunction. The most important thing... the touch screen will void your computer warranty. They are Apple provider but not service. The owner is Nick Durso.
