Netbook touchscreen kit giveaway

touchscreen-200px Liliputing and Hoda Technology are giving away a netbook touchscreen kit. This solderless kit will let you add touchscreen capabilities to a number of 8.9 or 10.2 inch netbooks.

The contest is open to entries from anywhere in the world, but you’ll want to make sure your the touchscreen will work with your netbook. Click the read more link for a complete list of supported laptops.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve given away a $6000 bundle of HP and Microsoft hardware and software and a Lenovo IdeaPad S10 netbook. But don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about those of you who already have a netbook and aren’t looking for a new one. You just want to hack it and make it cooler!

With that in mind, today we’re launching a touchscreen kit giveaway. We’re partnering with Hoda Technology to give one lucky reader a solderless touchscreen kit, complete with step by step instructions for installing the touchscreen in your netbook. You won’t need a soldering iron, but you will likely invalidate your warranty when replacing your netbook’s screen, so please don’t enter to win unless you’re OK with that.

Touchscreen kits are available for the following netbooks:

Asus Eee PC 900, 901, 904, 1000, 1000H, or 1000HD
Acer Aspire One
Dell Inspiron Mini 9
Samsung NC10
MSI Wind U100

If you’ve got one of these netbook models and want a shot at the touchscreen kit just leave a comment. We’ll randomly select a winner on Monday, January 5th and contact you via email. So please use a valid email address when leaving your comment. We’re willing to ship internationally, so the contest is open to anyone anywhere in the world. Just make sure to get your entries in by the 5th.

It would be great if I got randomly picked for this one. The only modding I have done so far with my Acer Aspire One would be 16GB SDHC card to increase disk size. And I haven't seen any touchscreen kits sold locally here in the PH. Anyways it would be interesting to see how the Acer Aspire One would work with this kit, and probably with the 7000 Pre-beta release of Windows 7.

Viir

Sounds like a cool piece of kit.... and he who has the most shiny toys wins right

entropy1980

I would love this for my Asus 1000H!

Free? Random drawing?
Brad, you now have one at my gaming skill level, count me in. ;)

Rob

Hmm. I want one.

Portablemonkey

I would love a touchscreen for a Dell Mini 9. A touchscreen for something as bit and fat as the 1000H doesn't sound to appealing!

kiddie

pick me, pick me,
it's only for my msi! :D

Looks great, a nice giveaway

yetti

Yeah! want one.

Matt

I have a 901 that this would be fun in.

It would be great having a touchscreen on my Aspire One!

It would be great to have a touchscreen on my Asus 1000H

revoke

OK. Leaving a comment. Please add my name to the pool. I'll decide which model, if I actually win (as I don't have a netbook yet). AAO would be my preference at this point (since I've seen the 1GB/120GB models for $299). The touchscreen combo would make it the cheapest touchscreen model with a regular hard drive (non-SSD). I think I could live with that :)

Sammy Fan

I'd love to win this!

rallisonr

What a wonderful giveaway! Thank you for the chance to win this!

JChris

I see several Asus Eee 1000 models listed as being compatible, but not the 1000HA. Hope it was just an oversight. Just got one and would love to add a touch screen to it.

Cool! I've got an Acer Aspire One that I've been using and evaluating for use in schools (for performing assessment tests). Adding touchscreen capabilities would help in understanding how kids who need assistive support might benefit. Thanks, liliputing and Hoda!

Bogdan Petre

Hello! I want one! I am a big fan of netbooks even that in my country, Romania, we don't have all the netbook models. Until now i worked with Asus 701, 901, HP 2133 and Acer Mini One. I am very happy everyday to enjoy and work with one of this toys. Now I have an Asus 901 and i really want to transform it in a touchscreen model. Thanks for the opportunity.

Kenneth Reitz

I own an Asus Eee PC 1000HD. I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that this is by far the best notebook I have ever owned. I do miss tablet-features though....

Hello folks
Im very excited to add a touchscreen on my Acer Aspire One 160gb, WinXP, Im very happy with it but I do believe that it is time to toss away the keyboard and go full touch

ossi

I am thinking about getting 900 for modding so this would be great. Would be nice for my aspire one too though. I always want to touch the screen as it feels like a better way to interact with computer and works with small screens.

Clarknova

I'm in ! Randomise me !

Loafgoat

Lack of a touchscreen is really my only complaint (if you can call it that) I have regarding my 1000h, this screen would fix that very nicely.

Tye Pye

Got a nice aspire one, all set up lovely. One thing I am missing is a touchscreen mod and these kits look the business.

Chad78

I'm getting an MSI Wind for work (Lord willing), and I plan on installing Mac OS X (for which I have a valid paid-for license), and adding the touch-screen (and pumping the RAM up to 2GB) would just be icing on the cake. Thanks for the opportunity.

babak

James A

DerelictArdent

I just bought a Samsung as a quick fix when my old lappy died, and only now did I just hear about the new ION platform as I'm simultaneously discovering the limitations of current gen subnotebooks. I would love I have a kit like this to help make up for my netbook's lukewarm performance.

This sounds like a great way to modify my MSI Wind. I already converted it to a Hackintosh (which runs great!), so a touchscreen would be the next logical step. Thanks, Liliputing!

bio hazard

Don't have a Netbook.So, don't need any kit.

Rob Whyte

I've been seriously lusting after one of these since I received my Wind as an early Christmas present. I've already upgraded the memory and am considering a few other hacks (internal 3G data card possibly) but the touch screen would be truly epic!

Joan (special needs mom)

Hi,

We are anxiously awaiting the new Samsung NC10 that has been ordered for our daughter. She has cerebral palsy, apraxic speech disability and spastic quadriplegia (along with seizures). She is a smart beautiful preteen. I currently create speech programs for her computer use. We wanted a more affordable option than what is found through special needs equipment devices. The Samsung NC 10 was definitely more affordable. Even more appealing, are the added bonuses of the ultra mobile portability as well as the being computer and speech device in one. She currently uses a two step switch to operate her programs, but we would love to try out a touch screen as an alternative. So we simply are leaving our names in the hat to be considered for the touchscreen!

gweilo8888

Neat giveaway. Here's my comment. :)

Oleg

I'm heavily using my Samsung NC10, will be my main notebook for 6 weeks travel to ship (now to New Caledonia). Using with Win7 beta, started thinking about touchscreen, but still need time to have card ready

suemccartin

Oh pretty please smile upon me lady luck. I want this for my dell mini 9 to make it a viable car navigation system. It works that way now but dealing with the touch pad...yuck. The touchscreen will really make the mini a great navigator, hopefully the universe will choose me! (oh and I'm not above a good deal of brown nosing either). Thanks for a great web site.

Twobeetuby

Count me in :)

Gord

A touch screen on my Mini 9 would definately be a good thing.

KitchenCookiesRock

I live outside the USA (sort of ... isn't canada the 51st state by now?) and it is rare to see a contest open to non-americans.

I feel like I have won, just being able to participate! Although, winning a touchscreen for my 1000h would be awesome.

Liliputing was touchy,
And Hoda Tech as well,
They wanted to give touch screens,
To make our fingers swell.

They started in December,
To make our saliva drool,
Even if I win or lose,
Happy New Year is my rule!!!

Andrew Tung

This would make the NC10 the perfect machine!

jaydon34

Man I need that

dongjin cai

I'd like to see how accessibility improved with a touch screen on my netbook. And the trend starting from OLPC will make netbook into "People's notebook" (not in the originally designed path though).

Peter of Cleveland

Okay, I'll bite. I've been researching the 'best' netbook that can run osx AND has a touch screen/multi touch mod.

Here's to a good new year, Steve Job's health, my new Nikon, my new netbook running OSX (since Apple don't want to get into the low profit products), economic recovery and lots and lots of running!

Rob C

This would be really cool for my Dell mini 9...

JC

I just got an Eee S101, and I am very positive about the trend toward touchscreen, not only because it is cool, but because it can facilitate education and other purposes.

iakudi

Hi,

Yes I'd love to try one of these touchscreen kits, my wife, daughter & I have own netbooks and I was looking for a novel way to help my daughter with her school work whilst using her netbook - this would be so so cool and give me plenty of brownie points with BOTH of them!

Dan

SHIT How many comments are there. I Bet you there all full of shit to. I got a simple way of doing this, just pick me and get it over with.

Siraje

I would be the happiest man on earth if I am selected to get a touch panel kit. The modding I have done so far is that I have soldered a mini PCI-e connector on my inspiron mini 9's WWAN space and have been succesfully using 3G using Novatel modem. Now I am working on to install Mac OS X. Getting the touchscreen plus the GPS module would complete my mini project with my favourite mini.

Thanks for giving me a chance.

Siraje

I'm reading for the challenge of getting this touchscreen on my Aspire One. Bring it on.
