Using the touchscreen (provided with some models)
This computer features a touchscreen which allows you to use your finger
on the display panel to perform the same function as a touchpad or mouse.
The touchscreen monitor includes the following features.
■ Multi-Touch Support for the Touch Keyboard: The touchscreen supports
multi-touch for the soft touch keyboard so that you can enjoy a more
realistic experience, such as pressing multiple buttons
simultaneously—like SHIFT + <letter> to capitalize.
■ Zoom: With zoom you have the ability to zoom in on an image by
moving two fingers closer together, or zoom out by moving two fingers
apart in Windows Explorer and many applications. Using these zoom
gestures, you can easily switch between view modes such as zooming
from Small icons to Extra Large icons.
■ Press and Tap for Right Clicking: The touchscreen includes a new, fast
multi-touch gesture to access a right click menu. Simply touch an item
with one finger and use another finger to tap.
■ Drag, Drop and Select Items: You can now use the touchscreen to drag,
drop and select text inside Web sites that scroll both horizontally and
vertically.
This function does not work when the computer is starting, in sleep mode,
in hibernation mode, in transition to hibernation mode, recovering from
hibernation mode, or power off. Be sure to not subject the computer to
vibration or impact while the function is disabled.
