====Trackpad====
The laptops employ a capacitive (finger controlled) trackpad.
The laptops employ a new development in trackpad technology; it is dual mode: capacitive (finger controlled); and resistive (used with a stylus as in a graphics tablet). With the addition of the stylus mode, children may write and draw directly within an activity, adding a personal touch to chat conversations or a signed email to a friend.
Only the center region of the trackpad has capacitance, responding to a finger.
