    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 across the surface  of the touchpad. The central location on the palmrest 
    provides optimum comfort and support.
    Touchpad Basics
    The following teaches you how to use the touchpad:
    TMove your finger across the touchpad (2) to move the cursor. 
    TPress the left (1) and right (4) buttons locat ed beneath the touchpad to perform selection and 
    execution functions. These two buttons are simila r to the left and right buttons on a mouse. 
    Tapping on the touchpad is the sa me as clicking the left button.
    TUse the 4-way scroll (3) button to scroll up or do wn and move left or right a page. This button 
    mimics your cursor pressing on the righ t scroll bar of Windows applications.

    NOTE: Keep your fingers dry and clean when using the touchp ad. Also keep the touchpad dry and clean. The 
    touchpad is sensitive to finger movements. Hence,  the lighter the touch, the better the response. 
    Tapping too hard will not increase the touchpad’s responsiveness.

    then use finger 
    to drag the 
    cursor on the 
    touchpad Tap twice (at 
    the same speed
