    A laptop has a touchpad, also called a trackpad, which is a touch-sensitive pad. Using
                     a touchpad, we can control the mouse pointer by our finger. Just above or below the

                     touchpad there are two buttons: left and right mouse buttons.

                        To click, press the left button with a finger. To right-click, press the
                       right button with a finger.
                       To double-click, press the left button twice quickly.

                        To drag, hold down the left button with one finger and drag the
                       touchpad with another finger.

                        To scroll, place two fingers side-by-side on the touchpad and gently move them up
                       and down on the touchpad surface.

                                                                   Hintbot
