subject: Toshiba Touch-Screen Laptop [print this page] The touch-screen capabilities also have limits on what they can do compared to a mouse or touchpad. You can't slide your finger down to the bottom of the screen to reveal a hidden Windows 7 task bar, for example. And the touch-screen software kept trying to launch the touch-screen soft keyboard, despite the fact that the U500 has a built in physical keyboard. I can't think of any reason anyone would want to use that virtual keyboard on a regular laptop. (Apparently, Windows 7 doesn't know the difference between a tablet and a regular laptop.)
