environment by countless ways like via keyboard, mouse, and now through the
touch screen. Along with a touch-capable, Intel-inspired Ultrabook just like
the Sony Vaio Duo 11 Convertible, even navigating in Windows is much easier
than ever.
I have already shared many Articles at Howtouncle of windows

multi task when you need two screens at a time. If you want to use two apps on
the screen at once then you can swipe in from the right or the left side of the
windows screen, you have to swipe it slowly. (How to Swipe - for get a new app
to appear on left you have to swipe from left, and for getting a new app to appear
on right you have to swipe from right.) if you are unable to handle the speed
of swipe then you have another shortcut option, just swipe down from the top of

somewhere within the app, after that you are free to drag down toward the
bottom of the screen.
