Your Acer Touchbook tour
After setting up your computer as illustrated in the setup poster, let us show
you around your new Acer computer.
Your new computer is equipped with two multi-touch screens that are used to
control the computer and enter data. The first thing you will notice is that there
is no traditional keyboard or touchpad. These are replaced with a virtual
keyboard and touchpad, so performing tasks will be different from the way you
use a traditional notebook. This User Guide will help you to familiarize yourself
with these unique functions.
After you have turned on your computer, you will see a standard Windows
desktop on the upper screen and a virtual keyboard on the lower screen.
