What's known about touch and tablet experiences specifically in Windows 12.

Windows 11's understated tablet mode followed the backlash against Windows 8's aggressive touch-first redesign.

What This Means for Buyers
Don't expect a dramatic tablet-first reinvention — improvements are incremental, not transformative.
