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
palmrest provides optimum comfort and support.
NOTE: If you are using an external USB or serial mouse, you can press Fn-F7 to disable the touchpad.
