Looking for suggestions on a new tablet style laptop. Must be a tablet with the ability to use fingers for the touch, as I would like to use as aac device also. Looking for something in the US $1000 range. Any advice would be great

So far this is what I have found

I have an hptx2525nr. It's a laptop and a tablet. I highly recommend it.

Can you use your fingers on the screen to select icons, ect.?

I have a tx2510us. I can use my fingers to select things and all that, although its more of a fingertip then finger pad. With the one you linked ( tx2z) IIRC its multitouch so you can use multiple fingers.

That being siad, the TX line has a long history of having massive heat output, so beware of that. I don't even need a space heater in my room anymore. Kidding, but just be aware that it may not always be a lap suitable laptop.

Thanks
I think I am going to get the one I linked to
There are not many tablets in this price range, and I want to be able to use finger, so I think it might be my only option
With the communication software I have, I am hoping I would be able to use the touch for aac speech device sometimes.
