You can make general adjustments to the touchpad there. You can also select "Additional mouse options" for more detailed adjustments to the touchpad sensitivity by increasing the delay of the touchpad. Lenovo

    This was the worst laptop I've ever purchased. It was slow on the internet, slow charging phones , just all around slow. The keyboard even had a delay. I returned it and bought another brand.

    This is the worst laptop I have ever purchased! If it was still returnable, then I would. It only comes with 4 GB of RAM. I installed a 16 GB RAM in it instead and that helps. You would actually be fine with 8 GB. It never uses more than that, but it was constantly maxed out with the 4 GB. I have a cheapie Compaq computer running Windows Vista from 2005 and it is just as fast as this computer. The camera is not very good either. Also, I thought that the description said that it has a DVD-ROM drive, but it does not.
