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 you optimum comfort and support.
NOTE: If you are using an external PS/2 mouse, the touchpad is automatically disabled. You can enable or
disable this function in BIOS.
