      Hello all,

      As the PI prices go up and it’s getting insanely pricy, i was wondering if a used laptop with touch screen can be used as MM2 display with a touch screen feature?
      If so, what laptop is recommended and what OS should i run on it?

      I’m looking to build a dedicated screen for chores, alarms and reminders for kids.

        @S374n yes, MagicMirror will run on a system with a touch screen

        We don’t provide any touch support in the base modules, but there are a few. Chores has one

        The os is not important. MagicMirror runs on Windows, Linux or Mac
