Is there a touch screen that actually gives you feedback as if there was a mechanical key at that location? I'd go for that!

Many current phones and similar devices use a small metal weight mounted off-center on a (really) tiny motor. When you "press a key" the system runs the motor for a brief time (quarter->half second?) and you can feel the little 'buzz' caused by the out-of balance weight spinning. Given this is real mechanical motion, I'm amazed it doesn't affect battery life more, but it seems to not be a significant driver.

So, to directly answer your questio, no, it doesn't really feel like a true (especially HP) key-press, but the slight buzz gives your finger enough feedback that you can tell you hit the "key".
