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 on the
surface of the touchpad. The central location on the palmrest provides
optimum comfort and support.

Touchpad basics

The following items teach you how to use the touchpad:

Move your finger across the touchpad to move the cursor.

Press the left (1) and right (4) buttons located on the edge of the
touchpad to perform selection and execution functions. These two
buttons are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse.
Tapping on the touchpad (2) is the same as clicking the left button

Use the 4-way scroll (3) centre button to scroll up or down and
move left or right a page. This button mimics your cursor pressing
on the right scroll bar of Windows applications.
