This book is for people who have a Windows 8–based tablet and aren’t quite sure how to do everything with it. Windows 8 makes your tablet very intuitive and very easy to use with touch, but you’ll want a guide to help you get the most from it; that’s why you have this book in your hand. Sure, you’ll want to spend time with your tablet, getting used it and learning what it can do, but this book will help you cut down that time by showing you the quickest, easiest, and most memorable ways to complete a task.
Windows 8–based tablets aren’t just about getting a job done. (Sure, they’re brilliant at that!) They’re also about having fun, checking your emails, catching up with friends, surfing the web. This book assumes that you’ll be using touch to navigate Windows 8; however, where it makes sense, we expand on that so that you can also use a keyboard and mouse, which is still great for programs like Microsoft Excel.
