Mouse or Touchpad?

How do you prefer to use your laptop - with the touchpad, or with a mouse. I like to use a mouse, and have the touchpad disabled so that I don't accidentally touch it and end up typing something in a wrong place. But tonight I am using my old computer, because I am home for the night, but my new computer (and the mouse) are at the place where I have been housesitting, so I'm stuck with using the touchpad.

in MacBooks we call that trackpad. And it's very convenient to use the trackpad of MacBooks especially the latest models. I have the latest one and I prefer using that without a mouse at all.

I often have to deal with tiny spaces, so I have no choice but to settle with the touchpad. I used to hate the laptop with some intensity fifteen years ago. over the cursor jumping all over the place. With time, I learn to fix it. We are sort of friends now.

I'm spoiled with the mouse. I find touchpad is difficult to navigate.

Mouse is safe to use. We all know touchpad is sensitive. Touchpad generally tends to get rough and some itchy marks over the periods of usage and in that way it leads to the disability of function of sensors. It's much risky if you are playing games with the help of it. Always use mouse. Use touchpad incase of necessity. A computer seller told me these things.
