The Z585's stylish design is not the only thing that makes using it a memorable experience. The Z585 laptop comes with multiple features as standard, all combining to make usability as intuitive as possible, including touch-sensitive hotkeys, and Intelligent Touchpad plus an AccuType keyboard.

The AccuType keyboard is stylish, ergonomic, and helps make typing easier.

Finally, the diamond-cut keypad is the very emphasis of sharp design, giving the whole layout of the Z585 an attractive and pleasing appearance.

An Intelligent Touchpad allows you to perform intuitive multi-finger commands.

Intelligent Touchpad
