Corsair's Xeneon Edge is a 14.5” touchscreen display that’s designed to go pretty much anywhere. Stick it on your desk, inside your computer, or magnetically attach it to pretty much anything metal. It features a 2560×720 60Hz AHVA panel which supports up to 5-point multi-touch, alongside widgets which you can customise with iCUE. Can this new touchscreen – with its widgets, gadgets and gizmos – take centre stage on your desk or in your PC?
