It's fair to say that touch has already revolutionised the way we use our mobile phones - making every task quicker, more efficient and easier. So if you are looking to update your PC or laptop then it makes perfect sense to look for a touchscreen option too.
The good news is that, with Windows 8, the latest stylish computers are already embracing the touch revolution and Lenovo has some remarkable PCs that bring the finest touchscreens to your laptop or all-in-one computer.
Windows 8 is really brought to life with touch allowing you to access and use apps and games just like you would on your phone, but it doesn't come at the cost of the familiar desktop, so you won't have to give up on your favourite computer programs.
Factor in a wonderful keyboard and you really do get the best of both worlds - all the fun and feeling of touch without sacrificing the functionality of a proper keyboard and the familiarity of the Windows desktop.
That means you can flit between playing Angry Birds and getting that super-important spreadsheet finished off ahead of your big meeting and not need to switch devices. You can use your finger to control your computer, or use the trackpad or a mouse if you need to be a little bit more precise.
Let's face it, we've spent a long time compromising by being forced to control things one way or another so it's nice to be able to choose however we want to navigate through our daily computing lives.
One of the finest ways to enjoy touchscreen computing on the go is with an ultrabook - ultra-thin and light for great portability but with all the functionality of a laptop.
And touch-enabled ultrabooks need not break the bank - Lenovo's IdeaPad U310 won praise for its lovely keyboard and for its stylish look but costs less than £500 and the IdeaPad 410 picked up plaudits from TechRadar for its fab graphics and sound as well as coming in at a price that you won't believe for such a beautiful piece of kit.
Another option is the versatile Lenovo Z500 Touch where, as TechRadar's review puts it, "you'll find yourself seamlessly playing games, tabbing out to prod your way through Windows and then turning the system to more mundane tasks without stopping for breath."
Of course, not everybody is looking for a laptop so Lenovo has a range of fantastic all-in-one PCs that bring beautiful touchscreens that can bring your home computing to life.
Take the IdeaCentre A720, described in TechRadar's review as powerful and stylish and which will give you easy touch-enabled access to the internet.
That means an easy way to explore the power of the web - from that recipe you need in the kitchen through to a quick check of your email - and all of the wonderful touch-enabled apps in Windows 8.
And with its glorious 27-inch screen you'll also have a computer than can double up as an entertainment hub, allowing you to have a powerful music player, connected television and on demand video player to boot. How's that for versatility.
Last, but not least, check out the Lenovo IdeaCentre B450 All-in-one with a stunning screen and all the power that you would traditionally associated with a dull old desktop tower.
Touch is the future of computing, but you needn't wait - Windows 8 and Lenovo's touch enabled computing will bring you right up to date and let you take advantage of the new revolution in computing.
