Wow didn't know something like that existed. I think it would all depend on how the touchscreen input data was being sent back to the Mac, I suppose if the screen was compatible with Mac then it would work but then again, maybe using windows 8 would skirt around this.

Typically they have a usb connection in addition to the display. It just uses it like an input device then.

They also make touchscreen glass slates that go over displays, but there's no way in hell that would fit on the air.
