The touchpad is a pointing device that allows you to communicate with the

computer by controlling the location of the pointer on the screen and making

selection with the buttons.

The touchpad consists of a rectangular pad (work surface) and a left and right

buttons. To use the touchpad, place your forefinger or thumb on the pad. The

rectangular pad acts like a miniature duplicate of your display. As you slide your

fingertip across the pad, the pointer (also called cursor) on the screen moves

accordingly. When your finger reaches the edge of the pad, simply relocate

yourself by lifting the finger and placing it on the other side of the pad.

Here are some common terms that you should know when using the touchpad:
