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

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.
