Can touchscreen be used instead of mouse for standard apps? i.e. Excel ASUS Eee PC Touch T91 8.9-Inch Black Tablet Netbook- 5 Hour Battery Life

Having used a tablet and a UMPC before I can safely say yes. A touch works just like a left click on "normal" apps like excel.Since this device uses a touch screen you can't really hover the mouse pointer over things but everything else works like you'd think.

Absolutely,Touch screen input is clearly the optimal input method when interacting with with complex operating systems and independent software.Take care when cleaning the screen using feather lite pressure and non abrasive / preferably non ammonia based cleansers (avoid Windex) since pressure will damage even debiliate touch screen input.90% isopropyl and a clean paper towel can effectively clean your screen but the Asus accureately interprets input even with a dirty screen.

Yes, this isn't solely touch screen. The mouse it comes with is a wireless mouse, and is pretty good.

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

not a touch screen.... however at times some 'overload" of power makes mouse think it has a life of itself whilst plugged in and charging... once I unplug power and work on battery back to normal again... Haven had capacity to chase Samsung about fixing it, last time my LG phone died and needed service I was without my tool for weeks... Some guy has made a youtube video describing issue.. Happy procurement.

Its NOT a touchscreen, its a touch pad. If you don't like the pad, you can hook up a USB mouse, or whatever.

Weird, I have been diggin the touchpad actually. Seems very intuitive to me and I have not yet used a mouse.I think your question is ultimately rhetorical though - if you only use a mouse the performance of the touchpad is irrelevant.

Hi, just to be clear this is not a tablet it is only a touch screen monitor and I do believe if you have the app. For those types of programs it is pissible. I have used similar apps for my monitor

I purchased a mini mouse but not because of touchpad going bad. Because I'm used to mouses. I have a mouse with a cord because, to me, it easier to keep up with but works great with my netbook. I recommend it.

The battery life is about 3-4 hours for normal business work, 2-3 hours for movies and music, and 1-2 hours for gaming. And no it does not have touch screen. It's medium-high performance laptop it wouldn't have touchscreen..

This computer lacks a touchscreen. But for the price, it's an excellent value if you can live without a touchscreen. To be honest, I have another computer with Windows 8.1 Pro which IS a touchscreen and I often forget that the feature is even there because I am so used to using a keyboard and mouse. I love touchscreens on tablets and other mobile devices. But when it comes to computers, old habits die hard for me. I find the keyboard and trackpad just as effective as a touchscreen (for me anyways).

I'm not aware of the Laptop having a touch screen. But you can turn off the track pad internally, just ask me how once you get it if you plan on getting it.

Great, I hope you post a full review soon.I'm curious about something. The PC looks flat like you use it like a laptop IF you were able to use a touch-screen keyboard. Does it come with a touch-screen keyboard?The thing about this that makes me wary is I don't know why one would even need a touch screen if it has to stand up on a desk like a regular monitor. In that case it seems easier to use the mouse than to reach up to touch the screen.

The description of my laptop never mentioned "touch screen" or "touch screen enabled". If there is a product description stating either of those for your laptop, then dismiss that verbage. I suppose that since this computer runs windows 8,that you could run a touch monitor off of it. But that would be stupid. If you want touch screen, then I recommend that you go buy a different computer with a touch screen.

How can I use this monitor, as a secondary monitor, and how can I set up the touch screen function?

No touch screen. I use it as my home computer and it is adequate for my documents, spreadsheets and Quicken. A nice, reasonably priced laptop in my opinion.
