Function keys
The computer uses function keys or key combinations to access some
hardware and software controls, such as screen brightness and
volume. The dedicated function keys each have a specific function.
Touchpad
The built-in touchpad is a pointing device that senses movement on
its surface. This means the cursor responds as you move your fingers
across the surface of the touchpad.
