I use the tablet for everything, from web navigation to Photoshop.  
There is a mouse but I rarely use it (only to give my wrist a rest). I  
use the pen to select files or links to open, just like you would use  
a mouse. I don't use a "regular" USB mouse.

There is software that you install, after that the mouse or pen are  
what you use for selection and drawing.
