For laptop users, you may want to update the drivers for your trackpad before long. Anyone who is using a Synaptics trackpad will be able to download a new driver that allows you to use multitouch gestures. This new driver will enable various multitouch gestures on older laptops, including the ability to use two fingers to scroll and three fingers to click. The drivers will come from HP, however anyone with a Synaptics trackpad will be able to download them and apply them to their laptop regardless of manufacturer. If it has been a while since you updated your trackpad drivers, now may be a good time to do so to get some new features.
