Acer laptop computers are installed with a touchpad below the keyboard's spacebar. Manufactured by Synaptics, the touchpad serves the same purpose as a traditional computer mouse but conserves space and enhances laptop portability since there is one less peripheral to pack and carry. Among the touchpad's features is a one-touch scrolling function that lets you move the viewing area on the screen up or down quickly by sliding a fingertip.
