OUCHPAD
The touchpad controls the arrow (or 'cursor') on the
screen. As you slide your finger across the touchpad, the
cursor will follow this movement. The Precision Touchpad
(PTP) is designed to provide a more uniform, smooth, and
accurate touchpad experience. Many applications support
precision touchpad gestures that use one or more fingers,
however, some gestures may not be supported by the
specific application or program you are using.
