Navigating using the keyboard, touch

gestures and pointing devices

Your computer allows navigation using touch gestures (select models only) in addition to the

keyboard and mouse. Touch gestures can be used on your computer TouchPad or on a touch screen

(select models only).
Select computer models have special action keys or hot key functions on the keyboard to perform

routine tasks.

Using pointing devices

NOTE:

In addition to the pointing devices included with your computer, you can use an external

USB mouse (purchased separately) by connecting it to one of the USB ports on the computer.

configuration, click speed, and pointer options. You can also view demonstrations of TouchPad

gestures.

Using the TouchPad and gestures

The TouchPad allows you to navigate the computer screen and control the pointer by using simple

finger movements.

an external mouse.
