6.6. Basic touchscreen operations
When you fold your laptop into a tablet, it is ideal for you to use your fingers or the digital pen to
perform many actions on it.
• Do not use sharp objects to touch the screen, or the screen may be damaged or scratched.
• Do not touch the touchscreen with a conductive material. It may cause a malfunction.
• The supporting functions are application dependent.
Touch once on an item to start an app, open a link, or
perform an optional function. This is similar to a left-click
of the mouse.

Press and leave your finger on an item. This brings up
detailed information or opens a menu with more options
for the item. This is similar to a right-click with the mouse.

screen. This is to zoom in and out on visual apps, such as
pictures and maps.
Place two or more fingers on an item and then turn your
hand. This enables you to turn an object. (Note: Not all
items can be rotated, depending upon the app.)
Slide
Drag your finger across the screen. This can scroll through
lists and pages, and can also move an object or be used
to draw or write, depending upon your apps.
