Lacerte is sending warnings that windows 7 will no longer be supported for 2019 tax program. Most windows 10 laptops are touchscreen - will Lacerte work on touchscreen?

I don't know but all the laptops in our office are Windows 10 and none are touchscreen.

I just ordered new laptops and they aren't touchscreen.

what did you go with?

Three laptops...NONE are touchscreen.

[IRonMaN]

I went with Dell Inspirons.

I like HP laptops more than the Dell ones.

I've been using Dells pretty much since dirt.

Ours are Dell

Thanks, all.  Intuit specs require 2.4 GHz dual-core processor and 4 GB RAM and 64-bit operating systems. When you look at the different vendors there are so many sub-types.  I am most concerned with the program opening quickly and the laptop in general booting up fast.  Not sure if that is memory or processor or both.  My current laptop takes forever to start now and it is intel core i7 2.2 GHz with turbo boost up to 3.2GHZ  and 8GB DDR3 memory, windows 7 home.

We buy from the business side of the house, not consumer/home.

All my desktops are Dell; I had one HP that gave me trouble (therefore, all of them must be bad, right?) but the HP laptops have been better (for me...) than Dell laptops.  YMMV :wink:

If it becomes a problem, a USB cordless mouse should work.

Yes, it works with touchscreen but is probably not optimized for it.
