A laptop computer comprising: a display case comprising a display; a keyboard assembly; a casing coupled with the display case, wherein the keyboard assembly is positioned within or received by the casing, the casing comprising a metal contact portion defining: an input surface positioned adjacent the keyboard assembly, the metal contact portion configured to deform in response to an input force applied to the input surface; and a plurality of holes extending through the metal contact portion; a light source configured to produce illuminated boundary lines on the metal contact portion by illuminating select holes of the plurality of holes, the illuminated boundary lines defining an input area functioning as a track pad, wherein portions of the input surface positioned outside the illuminated boundary lines are deactivated or temporarily inoperable; a stack-up forming a force-sensitive area of the input surface, the input area located within the force-sensitive area of the input surface, the stack-up positioned beneath the plurality of holes and configured to detect an input to the metal contact portion, the input configured to cause a deformation of the metal contact portion, the stack-up comprising: a sense layer positioned beneath the metal contact portion; a drive layer positioned beneath the sense layer; a compliant layer positioned between the sense layer and the drive layer and configured to deform in response to the deformation of the metal contact portion; and a light guide layer positioned between the sense layer and the contact portion of the casing configured to guide light from the light source to the select holes of the plurality of holes; and the laptop computer further comprising a haptic feedback module configured to provide a haptic feedback through haptic signals to the metal contact portion in response to the detection of the input by the stack-up. a display case comprising a display;
