A TrackPad (also known as a touchpad) is a touch-sensitive interface surface that allows you to manipulate and interact with your laptop computer using finger gestures. Because mice are typically not included with laptops, the TrackPad provides an alternative method for moving the cursor around the screen, selecting and opening applications or programs, highlighting text, interacting with web browsers, and more. Though the TrackPad has default settings that many people find useful right out of the box, it can also be customized under Settings to meet your specific needs. You can create shortcuts and modify accepted gestures in this way to make them more natural to you. For enhanced usability, Lenovo's ThinkPad Series includes multi-touch TrackPads, ergonomic keyboards, and the TrackPoint (discussed below).
