From what I heard on Leo Laporte's show, the way touch works in Windows is
that the higher the resolution the screen is, the smaller the touch targets
are. Maybe some of these fixed that bug of 8.1 with their drivers, but I
thought I heard back when that the higher the resolution even desktop
monitors get, the smaller the print becomes with it.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] HP stream seven tablet
My son bought one of these tablets and I convinced him, yesterday, to
downloadNVDA and install it on his tablet.
Now, he's a touchscreen guy, and he gets a little disoriented when dealing
with alternatives. However, NVDA just got up and ran. He discovered that
some points on the screen required a longer touch or a double touch, but
it seemed to be working just fine. He's been trying to convince me to buy
one, and I just may do that if I can find a keyboard that's small enough
to be convenient but with big enough keys to be felt by my very numb
fingers. The alternative might be to try and run Dragon NaturallySpeaking
on it.
He did say that the print was so incredibly small that it was challenging
to read with any comfort, and that you almost need a stylus to click on
things accurately.
I'm sure many of you have heard about the Dell that was demonstrated at
last summer's conferences, and my son tells me it's down to $150 or so, so
I may by that one instead.
In case you feel like experimenting, I thought I would update you.
Geoff
