Accessing Software and Performing Other PC Tasks
You can access your software and perform various tasks on your HP TouchSmart PC using the touch screen,
keyboard, mouse, stylus, or remote control. Some tasks are better suited to the touch screen, such as using
the HP SmartCenter programs, browsing the Internet, or accessing your favorite programs. Some activities,
such as typing search text, are better suited for the keyboard.
You always have the flexibility to use various ways to navigate your PC, create messages, and access your
music, TV programs, and photos.
Accessing Software and Performing Other PC Tasks
NOTE: All software that you purchase and install separately is accessible with the touch screen, but some
programs are easier to use with a stylus, keyboard, or mouse.
