“Is there a way to turn off the touchpad as needed I love this new laptop for its speed, but there are a few things missing. One is to turn off the touch pad so I can use an external mouse without accidentally moving the cursor while typing. The other is lack of LED on the keys to tell if the caps, num, or wifi is on/off. any visual cues? All these were present in my old Pavilion G7”

If you go to Settings, click on Devices, then Mouse/Touchpad, and then Additional Mouse Settings at the bottom of that page. The option to disable the Touchpad will be in there. As for the LED keys, that is annoying. There's one for the mute button, why not the ones that need it?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't have that model computer in front of me, but usually there are one or two ways to disable the touch pad. 1) check in Control Panel to see if there is a setting for "pointing device" or "mouse". 2) If you can interrupt the boot process before Windows loads - there may be a BIOS setting to disable the touch pad if a mouse if a mouse is detected. Can't help you on the Caps Lock indicator.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have a wireless mouse and use with no problem. Once you use the wireless mouse the touchpad doesn't interfere with your use. Besides you can switch between touchpad and wireless mouse anytime you wish. No problem.
