I have this HP Pavilion dv7 17″ laptop right now and I am very satisfied with it. However, I thought I could make it even better if I could add touchscreen capabilities to it. I have already upgraded to Windows 7, and I keep seeing DIY touch screen kits around. Do you think there is any specific kit I could get to make my 17″ screen a touchscreen?
