Hi,

 

NFC is for Near Field Communication, you can find more information from Wiki:

How to use: It has many usages such as:

Example: My loan printer supports NFC and my smartphones support NFC. I simply open a photo on my phones and touch to NFC symbol on my printer and printer will print. 2 of my cameras also support NFC but I have not tested them.

 

Regards.

I get the use of NFC with smartphones but I'm struggling to see how I can make use of it on a laptop.

Read that article before posting my question here but thanks for taking time to reply.

Would love to hear from people with their fun and useful ways to include NFC into daily laptop computing.

Appreciate the quick replies but your suggestions are for use of NFC with smartphones. What practical uses are there for including NFC on a laptop - can anyone give some good or fun use cases please.
HP Recommended

You can use it to "program" NFC tags.

 

It should be easier using laptop than messing with mobile phone.

I use it when I need to quickly send a web page I am reading on my phone to the the browser on the laptop
