Touchpad with Multi-Touch Control
Now it’s easier to peruse web pages, work with long documents, and show off photos with the larger touchpad, which supports the new Windows 8 Modern gestures like scrolling and pinch zoom–giving you the freedom and fluidity or movement as of a touch tablet or smartphone.
Super-speed USB 3.0 Port
Your technology collection is getting bigger and faster. Fortunately, your laptop can keep up with the best of them, thanks to built-in USB 3.0 ports. You’ll not only get much quicker transfer speeds, but your USB 3.0 devices won’t require a separate power cable either, unlike eSATA technology.
