If you have been on the web at all these past few weeks you will no doubt know that the Microsoft Surface tablet PC is now on sale for $499, however if you want to experience the touchscreen magic that the surface has to offer but don’t want to buy a whole new PC then the Yifang Touch 8 Stylus conversion kit is what your after!

As you can probably tell from the name and the image above the Yifang Touch 8 converts your existing PC in to a touch screen Windows 8 device.

The Touch 8 includes a receiver which clips on to the side of your screen and transfers data to your PC via USB and a stylus which can be used for ‘various functions’, it is not clear what these functions are, however I hazard a guess as to them being extremely basic.

The Touch 8 stylus conversion is currently on pre-order in China for 499 Yuan ($80) which is a lot less than going out and buying a Microsoft Surface tablet!
