The touchpad controls the arrow
(or 'cursor') on the screen. As you
slide your finger across the touchpad, the cursor will follow this
movement. Microsoft introduced the Precision Touchpad (PTP) for
Windows 8.1 (and later Windows versions) in order to provide a more
uniform, smooth, and accurate touchpad experience. Many
applications support precision touchpad gestures that use one or
more fingers.
