I do not see any advantage. Windows 7 is fine. The problem is there are fewer and fewer computers available with Windows 7.

No it doesnt. But it is a very nice machine. Win8 is most easy with Touch Screen.

No this computer is not touch screen. With Windows 8, if you have other touch screen techy stuff, you might be better of than I am. I am switching to Windows 7 ASAP because the 8 is a totally new route to learn.

no--but, you can buy a $5 app that will make it behave more like W7. This, imo, should only be sold w/touchscreen. Get an app.

no it's not :( but I've heard many say that the Windows 8 layout was designed with touch screen tablets in mind. too bad you can't.....actually....touch....the.....screen lol

Everything is ok but problem is you won't be able to use the gestures that Win8 needs to use the edge of the tablet because they are covered with frame.

No it's not....since it's running Win 8....It really needs to be a touch screen to get full use of this OS.....I regret not paying more to get a touch screen...but if you're only web browsing...more than adequate...the 2 second startup is a great feature.

Nope. It it is a great machine. If I had had more experience with window 8, I would opt for touchscreen.

Both. This particular model can be purchased as either touch or non-touch. I have a non-touch which is not compatible with Windows 8. I was advised to uninstall W8 & load W7, but then discovered this unit too low end to pull that off.

Not touch-screen. I have Windows 7, I specifically didn't want windows 8 considering my technical purpose of using laptop. Moreover, I wanted to have a light weight with good configuration. I had shortlisted Alienware from DELL which is a gaming laptop and that is too good, cos it has a good configuration as good as Sony VAIO but only difference is Alienware has dedicated graphics card which is the best thing for any laptop. the weakpoint I see "from my point of view" it weighs for 2.77 kgs which I wanted to avoid. Again, it's individual's choice. Moreover, if you are specifically looking for touchscreen there are other good options in HP. Touch screen with windows 8 is a good combination. Touchscreen with windows 7 is not at all good. So end of the day, what you are looking for as per your needs while buying a new laptop, makes more sense.

As this is a full Windows tablet, you only need to install the Windows 8 print driver from the manufacturer. It is not a special app like the iPad or Android tablets need.

This model does not have a touchscreen. You can use the touchpad or you can plug in an external USB mouse (wired or wireless).

This is not a touch screen. I am very unhappy with mine because Dell had deleted the go back recovery function and they hound you to purchase this important function that used to be free.

No I haven't seen the need to do so. Windows 8 only gets me touch type stuff and I don't see the need in a non touch screen laptop.

My Main Suggestion Would Be To Obtain A Computer Without Windows 8 Try An OS Like Windows XP Or XP Pro As long As it Has SP3 (Which ,If Necessary You Can Download SP3 From Microsoft's Wen Site)

You can switch easily between the standard Windows display the the Touchscreen with just a touch or click.To disable 'touch screen'.. . :Enter "Pen and Touch" in the search box Select the "Touch" tab Uncheck the checkbox that says "Use your finger as an input device" Click on "Apply" and close.
