Iscreen sokuchukumisa iqala ngo-1970s, kwaye yafakwa kwizixhobo zemveliso okanye zorhwebo ezinjengekhompyuter kunye ne-pot. Ukuphehlelelwa kwe-iPhone ngo-2007 kuyeyona nto ibalulekileyo ekuphuhlisweni kwemveliso yokuchukumisa. Ifowuni yeselfowuni ye-Apple, efuna ukuba amaqhosha angama-20, yenzelwe ukuthatha amaqhosha amathathu okanye amane kwaye okuseleyo kushiywe kwisikrini sochuku.
Ukongeza ekunikezeleni abasebenzisi kumava athe ngqo nangokusebenzayo, kodwa yenza imilo yefowuni engaphezulu kwaye inyibilikisi, ikwandisa ukusondela komsebenzi woomatshini, kodwa kwavula iscreen sobugceli ukuya kuhambo olukhawulezileyo kuhambo. Okwangoku, ubungakanani bokusetyenziswa kwesikrini sokuchukumisa sele bubanzi kwaye bungaphezulu kokusetyenziswa kwezixhobo zokulawula izixhobo, ukusetyenziswa komatshini wemali, iikhamera ze-elektroniki, njl. Njl. Ewe, eyona nto isetyenziswa kakhulu iseyifowuni. Iifowuni eziphathwayo nezikrini zokuchukumisa ngo-2008 ziya kuba nezigidi ezili-100 zeefowuni, kwaye zingaphezulu kwezigidi ezingama-500 zeeselfowuni zilindelwe kwiindawo ezincinci zombane. Okwangoku, i-Dell, i-Hewlett-Pakid, iFujitsu, i-Asus kunye nezinye iimpawu zokuqala zeKhompyuter zangaphambili zicwangcisa ukuqalisa i-laptop touch okanye i-impc. Of course, the industry is still arguing about whether laptops with touch screens can grow from low-priced laptops or UMPC below 10 inches to the mainstream laptop market, which is more than 14 inches. Kwi-laptops okanye iidesktops, abathengi baqhele ukusebenzisa i-IKCOCKAN kunye negalelo lemouse, kuba inani leekhibhodi linokunqongophala, ukufezekisa iinjongo zokunxibelelana ngekhompyutha kwikhompyuter enkulu. Kwaye ngoku inkqubo yeWindows ayikabixhasi ngeempawu zokuchukumisa ezininzi, ezinjengokungenisa izinto zokungena kwi-PC, kulindeleke ukuba ikwazi ukuxhasa i-Windows Kodwa nangona kunjalo, ikamva lemakethi yesikrini ikwanokukhula kakhulu kuphuhliso. Ngokwe-Arhente yoPhando lweArhente yoPhando lweMarike, iXabiso leNkxaso-siThengi yeScreen iya kufikelela kwi-3.5 yezigidigidi ngonyaka ka-2010.
