    Touchscreen works with a finger. They are not very accurate
    Dual touch/digitizer has a wacom digitizer which requires a special stylus. They ARE very accurate and artists use the to sketch on just like pencil and paper.

    Sorry. I did not make myself clear. I was asking about the visual differences between the two screens in the pictures I added.

    The two screens look different. One has a toughbook logo at the top and extra screw covers at the bottom.

    I was wondering if you can tell the digitizer and touchscreen types apart visually.....

    The early mks you can tell the difference if it is touch or digitizer by the stylus hole size.
    The later mks visually are identical between touch and digitizer.

    I think it was the MK1 but you might find it on other models too only because a seller might of replaced a broken one with that one.
