Touchpad

The build-in touchpad is a PS/2 compatible pointing device that senses movement on its surface.

The cursor responds to your finger movements on the touchpad. In addition, the two click buttons provide

the same functionality as a computer mouse, while the scroll key enables easy up and down scrolling in

documents and web pages.

The touchpad is located in the middle of the palm rest area, providing maximum comfort and efficiency.
