As smartphones and tablets influenced the world in making touchscreens ubiquitous and intuitive, the laptop industry was driven to follow suit. With the development of Windows 8 came new optimizations that allowed laptop manufacturers to add functionality similar to those of small touch-based devices so they can either compete or synergize with your existing tablet or smartphone.

What Is Windows 8?

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system made by Microsoft. It introduced significant changes to the platform and interface to synergize well with tablet and touchscreen laptops. This allowed companies marketing Windows-based devices to compete with Android and iOS devices.

• Predecessor: Windows 8 is the successor to Windows 7. For a long time, the latter was considered more stable in terms of gaming performance and other optimizations, but Windows 8 managed to catch up during its lifetime to be ideal for gaming along with workstation purposes. 
• Successor: Windows 10 succeeded Windows 8 and introduced improvements that allowed the system to handle transitions between a mouse-oriented interface and a touch-screen-optimized interface based on what is plugged in. Windows 10 offered a familiar interface with Windows 7 and was appreciated by many users who preferred the more stable Windows style.
