To use the touch pad
The touch pad, a touch-sensitive pointing device that controls the motion and speed of
the pointer on the screen, is built into your computer.
1. Move a thumb or finger across the touch pad in the direction you want the pointer to
move.

make your selection. You can also tap on the touch pad instead of clicking a button.
