Wacom has a 12" tablet that works with fingers or stylus, available 
running either Android or Windows 8.

I like feeling a real knob or slider, not the flat slick surface of a 
picture of a knob or slider.

A number of all-in-one PCs now have large touch screens. Unfortunately, 
they seem to run only Windows.
