Nope, that's not a touch pad. A touch pad is a rectangular area below the keyboard. The little felt tip between the b, g and h keys is usually called a track point...

generic: "pointing stick"
licensed from IBM: "trackpoint"
Hey don't call it a poor excuse whenever my mouse is not with me I use that thing. It's better then the lame touchpad.
Tried playing Starcraft with a touchpad once, I would've done better if I was blindfolded. :) Terrible things.

I'd go buy a mouse before I tried to use a pointing stick.
