Touchpad The touchpad consists of a touchpad (A), a scroll zone (B), and two buttons (C and E). D is the optional fingerprint reader.

When you move your finger on the touchpad, the pointer (arrow) on the screen moves in the same direction. The left and right buttons below the touchpad can be used to select objects. The scroll zone can be used to scroll through documents though use of the scroll zone may vary from program to program.

You can make touchpad-related changes such as adjusting the double-click speed, pointer speed, left-hand or right-hand configuration, and other touchpad settings.
