Is this a touch SCREEN or do you manipulate the screen with the pad?

Both- You can either use the interface by either by using your finger or the mouse pad. I installed 'Classic Shell' and it will turn the interface into the Windows 7, Windows Vista and will have the start button on the bottom like the old Windows 7/Vista look. By right clicking the start button you can change the look to the different Windows interface that we are all accustomed to using, when you want the 'TouchSmart' tiles, push the 'Windows' button on the keyboard and the tiles will reappear. I hope that this helps, all the very best to you.

No the mouse pad has pinch and zoom to mimic a touch screen effect but the screen itself is not touch

Well, which of the models did you purchase? This particular model, as indicated by many others, is most definitely a touchscreen. If it is this model and your touchscreen doesn't work, I would suggest you return it.

No, you do not need a touch screen because you are not touching the screen. You are using your hands in front of the monitor without contact. It's pretty neat.

No their not the same. Touch Pad is on the computer keyboard and you use your finger on the pad instead of a mouse. Touch screen is like a smart phone screen. Just know that finger press will be left on the screen and it will require cleaning from time to time.

Not a touchscreen. also note, it does not come with any disks. Also, all the inputs are on the left hand side.

No it is not a touchscreen. It has a keyboard with a 10-key number pad to the right, a trackpad mouse thing at the base, and USB connections for a separate mouse if you would like.

No it's not a touch screen. But it has the windows 8 tiles that makes it look like some of the other touch screens.

It's not a touch screen. You can, however, touch the screen; this really just makes it dirty but I think it's a nice feature nonetheless.

This is a touchscreen computer. I don't use touchscreen myself but there are others in my family that do. In certain situations, it's nice to have but I still prefer a touchpad. This computer comes with a mouse also that works just fine.

Unfortunately no, it's not a touch screen. A great device overall though. Snappy performance for multi-tasking and a great battery life performance.

Sorry, no touch screen on this particular model. The mouse pad is touch but that should be obvious.

No but you can use touch screen in single screen mode with laptop open, in essence like tent mode but you turn the laptop side away from you and operate from the back touch screen. If you flipped it over like tent mode then it would be upside down. As far as I know this unit cannot flip screen like an ipad.

You can slightly tap the touchpad with "click" fuction. You can also tap it with the mouse switch hidden under the rubber feet. Either way can use the tap feature of the touchpad.

It's doesn't do either of those. It's a touch screen but functions like a normal laptop.

I didn't have a problem with the touch pad. However, I did purchase a mouse to use with it because of the work I do on the laptop.

Mine is not a touch screen, but I think touch is available as an option. Windows 8 I believe.
