Gesture enabled and nicely recessed to avoid stray palm input.

Here you see the touch-sensitve keys used to activate/deactivate (left to right) QuickLook and QuickWeb, along with wireless and battery indicators.

It’s hard to tell, but this is the eWEEK.com site as seen from the HP QuickWeb browser, which can be used instead of fully booting up the 8440w.
