Using Your VAIO Computer

Using the Pointing Device

Your computer is equipped with two types of the pointing device: the touch pad and the pointing stick.

By default, both pointing devices are enabled but you can disable one of the devices to suite your preference. To change the pointing device settings, see Disabling a Pointing Device (page 32).

Using the Touch Pad

The keyboard contains a cursor-pointing device, the touch pad (1). You can point to, select, drag, and scroll objects on the screen using the touch pad.
