To use it, I need a touch screen?

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 it does not have a touch screen. It is a special edition, some programs from the original Windows are slightlydifferent. But I adore this Ultra Book inspired by Intel - My previous Acer Vista from 2009 now I consider it old""" Was time to update """"

Yes. Windows 8 does not require the touch screen to function but is designed to work with one. You can just as easily use your mouse and keyboard for typical functions.

yes it is a touch screen but internet is only needed if you want to connect to internet feature like email or GPS

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

No, this computer does not have a touch screen. But windows 8.1 makes regular desktop use similar to windows 7 as opposed to windows 8.

You can use both the touchscreen and the keyboard. The keyboard has a number pad also. It is very easy to switch back and forth between touchscreen and the keyboard.

Daniel, you can't use it without a computer, the tablet itself acts like a second monitor with touch capabilities. Hope this helps

No pen, and since it doesn't flip I wouldn't want to write much on it anyway. Myself I don't find the touch screen that useful, except for debugging touch gestures.

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

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

Dumb, Dumb but I seldom use the touch screen. Maybe I ought to start doing so.

You need an HDMI cable for sound and picture and there should have been a USB cable that came with it to hook it up to your computer for the touch screen functionality.

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.

I still have yet to get the touch screen to work, but I have not spent too much time at it yet

Nope. Just a touch screen will be needed. I use it on my tablet. The tip is kindof big to use on a small smartphone.

No, not a touch screen. Spent quite a while removing some of the freeware etc. but after that and organising the desktop the way I wanted, its a great performer for good price.
