Touch Screen
To get the most out of your next-generation display, you’ll need to learn all the finger- and hand-swiping commands. The exact gestures will vary depending on what brand of computer you have, but you should be able to use them to quickly switch between programs and windows, shrink and zoom in, drag-and-drop, and more. Lenovo’s 10-point multi-touch displays offer a wide-range of intuitive gestures that use up to all ten of your fingers. And, if you have Windows 8, you can use Customized Flicks to create your own touch screen commands.
Ports
The left side of your laptop is likely festooned with a variety of ports, which might include an HDMI ouput, SD memory card slot, USB drives, headphone output, microphone input, and a DC-in.
If your new laptop came with USB 3.0, then make sure any new peripherals you buy do, too. You can transfer your data up to 10 times faster with USB 3.0 – but for it to work, both devices will need to support the new hardware.
Most of the new laptops from Dell, as well as the new HP laptop models, come with an HDMI output, which lets you stream your Netflix account on your HDTV, just by connecting one cord.
Laptops keep getting sleeker, but that doesn’t mean they’re getting rid of any of the best features. Make the most out of your new laptop and master all the built-in gadgets.
