Touchpad

The built-in touchpad is a PS/2-compatible pointing device that senses movement on
its surface. This means the cursor responds as you move your finger on the surface of
the touchpad. The central location on the palm rest provides optimum comfort and
support.

Touchpad basics

The following teaches you how to use the touchpad:

Move your finger across the touchpad to move the cursor.

Press the left (1) and right (2) buttons located on the edge of the touchpad to do
selection and execution functions. These two buttons are similar to the left and
right buttons on a mouse. Tapping on the touchpad produces similar results.
