Touchpad

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

•

Note1: When using the touchpad, keep it — and your fingers —
dry and clean. The touchpad is sensitive to finger movement;
hence, the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping
harder will not increase the touchpad's responsiveness.
Note2: By default, vertical and horizontal scrolling is enabled on
your touchpad. It can be disabled under Mouse settings in
Windows Control Panel.
