Can you use either the touch screen or keyboard, or does the keyboard need to be turned off?

There's a button on the keyboard that allows you to bring up the onscreen keyboard, even while the bluetooth keyboard is on & connected.

You can still use the touch screen while the keyboard is on. However, the touch screen keyboard doesn't pop up when the keyboard is in use.

You jave to use both in tandem. But when the keyboard is on, you will not see the touch keypad for the letters appear on-screen.

Yes. It can be very frustrating, however if you use the hot keys fn+f7 you can turn the touch pad on and off.

Like with any keyboard you can use the arrow and tab keys to negotiate the screen so yes.. You can operate the tablet from the keyboard without touching the tablet.

This laptop hasn't a touch screen. You have to take care with the things you leave there, because any screen is going to be broken if you leave something between the keyboard and the screen when it is closed.

You can use the tablet with or without the keyboard in or outside the home. The "Keyboard" section also provides more storage and battery life so I usually use it connected if I am sitting down and using this like a computer. Tablet Section weighs a little less that 2 lbs and the entire thing weighs around 4.8 lbs. Remember this is a very LARGE tablet compared to most at 13.3" LED-backlit high-definition widescreen 10-point touch-screen display.

Yes. You can also remove keyboard an use it at a distance but stay close enough to still be able to touch screen if needed. It has a great range if you need it I checked I used it about ten feet away with no problem.it is a good item at probably the best price.

It has a touch screen and I got the keyboard sold separately. I seldom use the keyboard but use the Touchscreen most.

I'm pretty certain no, can't check it right know. Though you can always use the touch screen keyboard.

No you don't, you use an on-screen keyboard operated by the remote. It's rather cumbersome but you won't have to use it very much.

I'm not really sure. I don't think the touch screen is disabled. I've used the keyboard once for writing emails and did not notice a problem. Sorry to give you a vague answer. Not sure I would buy this again. It's OK, but heavy. A bluetooth keyboard would be better.

No. There are products on the market however (like AnyGlove) which will enable you to use a touch screen.

This model does not have a back lit keyboard. But you can use the touch screen's keyboard which is lit.

You can turn it off but only on the keyboard but it's hard to see the letters when it's off. And the mouse has led but it doesn't turnoff ever and I'll have to check the warranty on it when I get home
