If yes do you like it?

Yes, I have my eyes on a laptop incase I want to take it with me some place etc. I prefer a laptop with the numeric keys.

If I ever take it with me, it would be from the house to car and lucky if once or twice a year.

If you don't have a wireless router set up in the house you will need a long cable to connect it from your current router to your recliner.

It DOES mean literally touching the screen.

I bought a Dell touch screen all-in-one and found that there is no instruction manual for using it. NONE. None came in the box. There is not one at their website online either. And I Googled for one, only to find a discussion board somewhere where they were all complaining about how there is no instruction manual in existence to teach the use of touch screen.

There is a set-up manual included in the box. So once it is set up to run.......then what?

But how is anyone suppose to figure out how to use the touch screen features if there is no book to read explaining things? I can't figure out how to do right click commands with the touch screen. It seems to only do left click commands. How does spell check work with the touch screen? Tapping just highlights the word and that's all.

I have tried the "intuitive leaning" concept with this and I am at as loss. One of the features shown in the store is the ability to write in your own handwriting for notes. I can't figure out how to do this along with many other features this thing has.

I can't go back to the store to learn because this was purchased at Sam's Club. There are no salespeople in the computer department to help.

Is there anyway how to learn how this touch screen computer works? I am seriously considering just boxing the thing up and marching it back to the store.

Any link would be appreciated. Recommended book too. Is there a 'Touch Screen for Dummies' book out?

**Note: If you buy a touch screen make sure you turn off the computer before cleaning the screen or you will delete all your tabs and even open windows when swishing a cloth over the screen. (Don't ask me how know this. LOL. I probably downloaded porn, renewed my AAA, subscribed to Readers Digest and asked to be sent money saving coupons to my email addy just by cleaning the screen.)

I hate this Dell touch screen.

I am linking you to the Dell website, just enter your Service Tag and look for the manual.

They must assume that everyone learned to use touch screens in high school classes and are already familiar with them which leaves us middle aged people out of the loop.

There are free computer classes offered at the senior center in my area and I have taken classes there and at the library before, but when I asked if they teach how to use touch screens they had no idea what I was talking about and thought I was nuts thinking that you could just tap on the screen to get things done. The reaction I got was that I was 'way out there' trying to get my monitor to do these things by tapping on it and thinking I would actually "write" on the screen.

What I need is a 'Touch Screen for Dummies' book or something like that. Maybe a website with a discussion board where everybody helps each other. There sre some things I have figured out on my own with the touch screen and maybe someone else out there has other knowledge sbout touch screen.

I am very disappointed in this purchase. This was my first *new* computer after going through a series of other peoples outdated cast-offs that I learned on. I thought the touch screen would suit be better because I have nerve damage in my hands and a touch of arthritis which makes typing and mouse use a chore. I went into my savings to buy this touch screen and spent way more money on it than I should have for a computer.

I do have the option to return it to Sam's Club but I would rather learn to use it and enjoy the touch screen features.

I really appreciate everyone's help and advice though.
