The touchpad integrated in your notebook is compatible with a standard mouse, allowing you to control the notebook by pointing the location of the cursor on the screen and making selection with its two buttons.

  1. Cursor Movement Area
    This pressure-sensitive area of the touchpad, allows you to place your finger on it and control the cursor on the screen by moving your finger.

  2. Right Button
    Acts as the mouse’s right button.

  3. Left Button
    Acts as the mouse’s left button.


Read the following description to learn how to use the touchpad:
  • Positioning and Moving:
    Place your finger on the touchpad (usually using the forefinger), and the rectangular pad will act as a miniature duplicate of your display. When you move your fingertip across the pad, the cursor on the screen will move simultaneously in the same direction. When your finger reaches the edge of the pad, lift your finger and replace it on a proper location of the touchpad.
  • Point and Click:
    When you have moved and placed the cursor over an icon, a menu item or a command that you want to execute, simply tap slightly on the touchpad or press the left button to select. This procedure is called "point and click". Unlike the traditional pointing device, such as the mouse, the whole touchpad can act as a left button, so that each tap on the touchpad is equivalent to pressing the left button. Tapping twice,more rapidly, on the touchpad will execute a double-click.
  • Drag and Drop:
    You can move files or objects in your notebook by using drag-and-drop. To do so, place the cursor on the desired item and slightly tap twice on the touchpad, and then keep your fingertip in contact with the touchpad on the second tap. Now, you can drag the selected item to the desired location by moving your finger on the touchpad, and then lift your finger from the touchpad to drop the item into place. Alternately, you can press and hold the left button when you select an item, and then move your finger to the desired location; finally, release the left button to finish the drag-and-drop operation.
