I just purchased a new laptop after not having one for about ten years. I love my desktop but want to use the laptop on the porch.

Question:  do you use a mouse with your laptop? 

Many thanks. 

Edited to add:

Looks like the mouse users win! I will get a mouse at some point but in just a couple days of using my laptop, I am doing so much better. Think I want to learn both ways.

Thanks for all the great replies....so helpful!

@Regal Bee  Absolutely. I'd be unable to use my laptop without it. Once in a great while I use the finger pad (that's what I call it) but for me it's too awkward.

@Love my grandkids   Thanks! This makes me feel better. I'm having a time of it.............mercy!

I greatly prefer using a mouse with laptops.  However, if I am sitting someplace without a flat surface to my right it is not an option.  In that case a touch screen is a help as it is another way to navigate.  But I am always much faster with a mouse.

No I have used a Mac book for close to 10 years, and I use a track bar only time I will use a mouse is if are issues with the track bar

Yes. I just can't get the hang of using that built in mouse. Easier for me to use the mouse.

Yes, I use a wireless mouse rather than the touch pad.  I find it easier, quicker and I have better control.

I use a wireless mouse.  I disabled the touchpad.

I'm from the 'old school' - and thought I'd never be able to run a laptop/computer without a mouse !  My new laptop didn't come with a mouse - but it took a very short time to learn how to maneuver it without a mouse...don't' miss the mouse now !
