I have a tablet and Android smart phone, but this would be my first touchscreen laptop. Can I use a mouse too, if I want to?

Yes you can use a mouse, after you get use to the touch screen you will find yourself using both. You will love windows 8, I went on youtube and watched videos on how to use it so when I received the laptop I had a general idea of how to use it. It has been a blast learning everything, don't believe things you read about not being able to use a mouse, I have no idea what they are talking about, sometime I thing they read something and just repeat it with out knowing what they are talking about. You will find this a great addition to your tablet. Windows 8 has Flash built in so you can watch all videos. All in all this laptop in a great one for the price. Feel free to ask any other questions. Yes you can use a mouse, after you get use to the touch screen you will find yourself using both.

Yes, you can use either the built in mouse (like most laptops) or you can buy a wireless mouse for it.

Yes. Get the kind that goes into the flash drive slot. The driver will be loaded automatically and you should be able to use. See if you can get Windows 8.1 upgrade. You'll love it

Yes you can have both a mouse and touchpad connected and turned on and use them interchangeably

Yes, I use a USB mouse/keyboard combo and the touchscreen all at the same time. In fact you can plug the mouse and keyboard into a USB port on the Viewsonic TD2220

You should be able to. I used to use my Logitech mouse with my tablet and it worked just fine. Just know that unless you have a keyboard/mouse combo, you can only use one of them.

yes, just make sure your computer has the right OS that is compatible with the device before you buy. If you're just wanting to use this as a mouse replacement, you may want to consider buying a cheaper device/tablet. People purchase these tablets specifically for design work or art. I would consider your options.

It's going to be very difficult using a mouse. I hate touchpads too. When I'm using the FitDeck I read or watch TV.

I dont believe the Version of OS matters. You treat the touch screen as an input device.

Yes you can use a mouse with this laptop. Its an excellent laptop and has all the features it should have for a laptop of its price. It is a very good computer for its range and I would gladly buy it again if I had the choice.

It is not touch screen. I prefer using a mouse and keyboard especially with this large of a screen.

I use it with my Android Nexus 7 tablet. Mouse and keyboard almost makes a laptop.

yes you can, but the keyboard/mouse sensitivity to touch isn't all that great......

Short answer, No. Long answer. Yes, if you also have a USB port and an appropriate driver (this is the hard part). The display works fine, using HDMI or VGA (and presumably DVI, which I haven't tested). However, the touchscreen feature requires a USB connection and a suitable display driver. No drivers are available for the Rock computer or my very old Android tablet. I am not aware of any drivers available for any other Android computers. The documentation for the monitor does not mention Android.

No. You can browse the internet, but in a very limited fashion. No touchscreen.

The answer is yes. I do not recommend this computer because of the touch pad. I have had 7 or 8 laptops over the years and this one I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. If you are not going to use it with a mouse, you should pass on it.

Yes. You can use a mouse with any laptop including this one. It doesn't come with one, so you'll have to buy it separately.
2179351
YES you can. & even a wireless usb keyboard as well. Its amazing the plethora of device drivers that came preinstalled on this Android device. You'll be suprised that many of these usb devices are plug 'n' play on this android mini pc

If your tablet has a USB input, then you can use this mouse with it. If not, then you can't.
