Better Laptop and Tablet PC support

We know that laptop sales have surpassed desktop sales. Ubuntu works well on the desktop but laptop and tablet PC support can be improved to a higher level of polish.

Areas to explore are software such as the desktop environment's GUI and hardware support such as Wireless, Touchscreen, Fingerprint Readers and Special "Fn"/media keys since these are the devices frequently included in most portable PCs.

If Ubuntu can be made to "work out of the box" during install or at least during the first update after install and a network connection is provided to be able to download latest drivers off preconfigured sources, Ubuntu can piggyback on the success of laptop sales.

Consider working with other "mobile" projects just as those of GNOME and Ubuntu-Mobile etc.

For currently poorly supported devices such as touchscreens and fingerprint readers, some marketing, campaigning and awareness programs should be undertaken so that we get an acceptable level of support like we currently have for 3D video cards and wireless chipsets.
