| | Similar to a mouse, a touchpad is a device for moving a pointer around a computer display. | | | Unlike a mouse, the touchpad does not need to be physically moved, making it ideal for use in a notebook computer. | | | A touch screen is a special type of computer display that lets the user interact with the computer by touching the screen rather than typing on a keyboard or moving a mouse. |
