Using the computer

You can use the computer using the touch screen only, without

Learning basic touch screen operations

using the keyboard and mouse.

 

 

The touch screen function is only supported for models which have the function installed at the factory.

•When using the computer for a long period of time, using a keyboard and mouse instead of the touch screen is recommended.

•Touch the touch screen with your fingers. Using a sharp object to touch the screen will scratch or damage the LCD screen.
