Can you use this to navigate thru the os and browse the web like a touchscreen computer would

No, this does not work as a mouse, You just can use this with specific software, however I love mine, because I can code software in many language using leap motion libraries to make cool things!

No this product is in its infancy stage... it should be in a beta stage. I should have returned the product but for some reason I kept it just to try out the api's and stuff.. there might be some products coming like Ring which might do a better job than this. I am waiting for those products.

Thats what we thought it could do. It looks like it can do it. You can hold your finger out and push or tap index finger to click, but its not a fluent as a touchscreen. You will be stuck trying to click on one thing because every time you move any part of your hand slightly, the cursor on screen moves just a little, just enough to take the cursor off of what you were trying to click on, making you try again, and again, and again...etc

not very well.. I found it not compatible with windows 7.. I suggest buying a touch screen monitor

I'm not sure about doing this on Apple but you can not us the leap motion to replace your mouse while using the Internet on windows.

Yes. Good operating system, do your homework if you are not familiar with it. Can easily be made to look and work like older Windows OS if you are not happy with it.

no. it was made to introduce you to touchscreen software, but it uses a mouse type control. doesn't work very well. meant to make you buy a touchscreen. I think it would be terrific with a simpler windows.

Yes. It has the google play store so you are able to install whichever browser you want. Then you are able type the URLs directly

It is possible, yes, but don't expect much from it if this is why you would buy it. I use it simply to browse, and even that is a little more tricky than I'd appreciate sometimes. All in all it is a $280 touch screen monitor, and you get what you pay for, which is relatively cheap in comparison to better options.

Yes. The OS is Windows 8 with Windows Explorer. It will also run Google Chrome, which I use a lot.

Yes that's what I do. The touch pad is so quirky you almost have to use an external mouse. The only caveat is that there is only one USB port so if you're using a wireless mouse you can't use the USB port for anything else.

Yes. The computer took me about a week to get used to because of the interface but, love it. You have the option to switch your home page to Windows 7 but, don't. It's best to bite the bullet and learn something new.

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.
797902
Yes, you can easily browse the internet and use sites such as Facebook and Pintrest. The computer also comes with an application to access to your email, or you could use the web browser. It is great for browsing the internet! It is not limited to those things either, you can make spreadsheets, presentations, and it has a great word processor

That is correct. If you install Windows 8, you will not be able to avail yourself of the "touch" functions. However, with the installed Windows 7, it's just fine.

Yes you can browse freely like a pc. You can do every thing I watch tv and browse the internet its awsome

No. You can single-click with it, but it seems to really just be meant for scrolling.

You know like when you are reading a website, you can go back and forth. Instead of moving the pointer to click "home", you can use the buttons.

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.

Yes. This product is independent of the OS you are running on your computer as long as you can run a web browser like internet explorer, Chrome, Firefox or Safari.

Yea, that's why I got it so I wouldn't have to use the touchpad. It's easier to navigate Windows 8 with this Mouse
