===How to Read This Document===
Undoubtedly, many who have made it to this page have read at least one set of human-interface guidelines in the past. Nonetheless, we strongly request that you read the content of this document in full. Many of the terms contained within will be quite familiar to you, however, we urge you to review them anyway, since our approach to the user experience shifts away from the traditional desktop. As such, this document may introduce some unfamiliar ideas around such otherwise familiar terms that you should consider throughout development.
Undoubtedly, many who have made it to this page have read at least one set of human-interface guidelines in the past. Nonetheless, we strongly request that you read the content of this document in full. Many of the terms contained within will be quite familiar to you. We urge you to review them anyway, since our approach to the user experience shifts away from some traditional models. As such, this document may introduce some unfamiliar ideas around such otherwise familiar terms that you should consider throughout development.
While we would urge you to read this document once from start to finish, extensive use of both internal and external hyperlinking allows you to peruse its contents at will. Hopefully this will make revisiting particular parts of the guidelines quick and easy, and will allow you to move naturally through the details that pertain most to you. Additionally, the document has been laid out in a 3-tier structure — document, chapters, and pages. Feel free to view the document in full to get a broad picture or to print a hardcopy, or use the integrated navigation to move through one chapter or page at a time.

Additionally, where relevant we have included links to the APIs in order to make the relationship between design and implementation clearer. Please take advantage of this as you develop for the laptops.
