Dell™ DualPoint™ integrated pointing device, which provides a Personal System/
2 (PS/2)-compatible touch pad that provides full mouse functionality, and a track
stick to control the cursor on the display screen. These pointing devices are
positioned for both left- and right-handed users. The track stick is positioned in
the keyboard to allow you to move the cursor while keeping your fingers in a
typing position. Two sets of left and right buttons, located above and below the
touch pad, mimic mouse buttons. You can also perform many pointing functions
by tapping the touch pad or the track stick. Click-and-drag buttonless functions
are also supported.



Universal serial bus (USB) capability, which simplifies connecting peripheral
devices such as mice, printers, and computer speakers. The USB connector on
your computer's back panel provides a single connection point for multiple
USB-compliant devices such as keyboards, mice, printers, and computer
speakers. Also, you can connect and disconnect USB-compliant devices while
the computer is running.

NOTES: Windows NT does not support USB functions.

If you attach a USB device that was not included in your original system
configuration, you may need to install a specific driver for that device to obtain
its full functionality. Contact the USB device manufacturer for more information.
