Anyway. Nothing is perfect. Nothing.
At least your HP has the nice stylus for precise cursor control and palm-hit rejection. But yeah, for finger-touch (Cap-sense) that's rather crude for the small fields w/in Windows. ...of course you can increase the size of those windows fields . ..but that wastes screen real estate. (yes, nothing is perfect)

fwiw, quite a few of the older Windows tablets have stylus-selectable buttons along the bezel. ...which are usually user-programmable. My Old Samsung has a user-programmable D-pad, which is super useful. Also, it uses a resistive touch screen - meaning, it has precise input with anything pointy. (stylus, coffee-stirrer, finger-nail). However, the big down-side with either cap or resistive sense is that there is no cursor hover. ...you are either selecting an area or not.

Considering that many web-pages have features based on cursor hover, I can't see how the people with Only cap-sense (and no mouse coughApplecough) can claim that they have a good web device.
