A trackpad and a touchpad both refer to a flat, touch-sensitive surface used to control a computer’s pointer, typically found on laptops. The terms are often used interchangeably, but "touchpad" is the more generic term, while "trackpad" is often used by Apple for their devices. Both function the same way, allowing users to move the cursor and perform gestures with their fingers.
