So I received my X61 with the multi touch screen, but to be honest, I'm wondering what advantage this screen offers over the regular screens? I have used my tablet already (after learning a few things in 1.5 days) but cannot figure out what the purpose of multi-touch really is? Anyone know where this information can be found or know what the advantages are? Thanks for the help!

the fact that you can use your fingers?

The screen might be a bit more durable also. Just because of the pressure needed to actually register a press.

Its not meant to replace the stylus. But lets say you have a big button you want to press. Or move a window when in tablet mode. And someone else has the pen. You can use your finger.

I am currently in an Executive MBA program, thus, I make lots of presentations and I've grown to like touching the screen to change slides and such when I'm discussing things with my teammates. I also watch movies in slate mode when I fly and I find navigating around a dvd movie I'm watching (i.e volume control, scene selection) with my fingers is also very convenient.

I too cannot figure out how to make the touch screen useful. I would love to be able to use my screen with one tap like on a treo but have been unable to. I am sure I just to adjust some settings.

For me the biggest advantage is that u dont have hold your pen while browsing the web, or to just press one button. It is a time saver nothing more.

Living in the nyc, more than tenth of my day is spent on commuting. So I find my touch screen indispensable.
Besides the fact that taking out the pen in a train is such a hassle, sometimes it's much more than a hassle, i.e. it is an impossibility.
An example would be when I'm standing instead of sitting. I read a lot of stuff, and I'm always in tablet mode when I don't have a seat. And when I don't have a seat, I can't really hold the tablet on one hand, and the pen on the other, because I need to hold on to something so that I don't fall during ever so present abrupt stops and turns. I have other applications too, but this seems to be the most common for me.
