Get in touch with your technology

Ever notice a disconnect between your mouse and that little arrow on the screen? Well, skip the middleman with HP TouchSmart PCs. Just touch the screen to feel the fun and have a more visually pleasing computing experience.

All the right moves

Tap
  • Tap objects to select them and double tap to open programs.
Flick
  • Flick your finger within menus to “scroll” left or right, up or down, through selections such as music albums and photos.
Drag
  • Drag objects on the display by pressing, holding and sliding them to your desired location.
Arc
  • Arc objects in a sweeping motion, like dragging, to comfortably move them.

Understand the technology behind the touch

The ability to have your digital life at your fingertips is the result of HP’s 25 years of experience in touch technology. The specialized HP TouchSmart Software Suite was designed to be interactive to touch as opposed to programs that are designed to be used with a keyboard and mouse. Optical-touch technology works with the lightest touch, allowing HP TouchSmart PCs to register a touch just before the finger hits the screen. This means there are no surface films or coatings on the screen.
