CNET News - Continuum helps Windows 10 play nice with touch and peripherals
2015-01-21
the other thing that we really talked
about in September that's very important
to Windows 10 is the continuum feature
and continuum is about enabling a two in
one device like this which i've been
using like a laptop to transform
elegantly into sort of a tablet form
factor so let me restore some windows
here you'll see I've got a bunch of
windows open in various positions on the
screen I can move those around use my
mouse and keyboard but when I remove the
mouse and keyboard you'll see we get a
little pop up here do you want to enter
tablet mode I'll choose that and now my
windows are full screen and I can use
this in a very natural way like a tablet
I can left swipe in to get task
switching and then switch between full
screen apps if I touch the start button
there you'll see it's now automatically
the full screen start menu which I can
use touch gestures to navigate around
and then when I'm done using it like a
tablet I snap the keyboard back in I get
a prompt I can exit tablet mode and now
I'm right back to where I was able to
use it like a PC with Windows that are
restored the Start menu back in its
small size and the whole point is a
device like this elegantly transforms
from one mode to another
