Can you move the cursor anywhere on screen with only your fingers on the touch surface without moving the complet mouse my itself with your wrist.

No, you can't. Moving the cursor is done with the whole mouse. The main thing you can do with the touch surface is clicking.

Yes. The mouse pointer will appear when you move the trackpoint and trackpoint scrolling also works.

I used the built-in touch pad on the laptop. Don't think there's enough room to maneuver a mouse effectively.

No, it doesn't have a mouse. You can move the cursor with the arrow keys or with your finger on the screen.

Yes you can. How do you intend to follow you mouse and use your keyboard without a computer monitor?

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.

I agree! I have started using the tap feature of the touchpad (two fingers for right click). I works OK for most things once you get used to it but for quick response in a game, I have to connect an external mouse (trackball in my case).

I don't use a mouse with mine, if that is what you mean. As far as I am aware, you cannot touch the screen and use it.

As far as I can tell the cursor does not move unless the mouse moves. The gestures with one or two fingers work with the mouse stationary but the cursor stays fixed.

You can setup custom gestures in certain programs, I am not sure if you can use the mouse to open a program though.

No, it is just a standard mouse, with touch, for standard mouse features (Right/left click, scroll, back, forward)

The touchpad and buttons work just as a mouse. If that is all you are needing for the game is mouse usage it should be no problem. The only thing I haven't tried was click and drag.

No. You have to remove your gloves. Unless you are wearing gloves designed for a touch screen.

You touch anywhere on the pad, but the left and right mouse functions are specific areas on the pad.

I use the touchpad only and have not had problems with it. Sometimes the cursor jumps when I am typing, but I have had this occasionally with other computers. Hope this is helpful.

No, but I don't think I would have wanted it if it did. It would have to lock in every slot on the way out to accommodate the user's preference for how far out they want the tray to be when they're using it. I haven't had any issues with it moving when I'm typing or using the mouse.

Yes. Search for Pen and Touch in Control Panel (this can also be found in system tray by double clicking on "flicks"). Select the Touch tab and uncheck the option to 'Use your finger as an input device'This disables the touch functionality on the HP TouchSmart
