• Why does my laptop have tablet pc settings?

    Mai, K. asked:


    I have a Gateway M-1625 Notebook that my parents bought me last year. I was just changing the settings for my personal use, and while doing that I found a whole bunch of settings for a tablet pc. I was wondering why those settings are there. Does every laptop have the same settings, even though it’s not a tablet pc? If not, is there a way my laptop could be able to have touch screen capabilities (a special digitizer pen or something like that)? Thanks in advance!

      I have noticed the same thing on my Sony Vaio. I would like to know the answer to this aswell!

      There are two reasons that this could happen:
      1. The computer manufacturer or distributor tried to save money by using one OS with tablet PC settings installed
      2. All PCs come with tablet PC setting

      And I have a Mac, so I can’t see if there are tablet PC settings
