Take a moment to consider your laptop’s touchpad. It seems like a simple, boring piece of technology. They’re used when we can’t plug in a mouse, as physical mice are generally considered much better. But touchpads can be fast and efficient, too. They have shortcuts for everything from easily scrolling, zooming and rotating to gestures for quickly getting around in Windows 8.
Spend a moment learning your touchpad’s tricks and configuring actions that work well for you. It will pay off when you can use your touchpad to get things done faster. For Windows 8 users, touchpads are arguably more convenient than standard mice — they’re a great way to add touch gestures to PCs without touch.
