On Windows 10, "Precision Touchpad" is an implementation designed to overcome the limitations found with traditional touchpad devices. Using this approach, instead of manufacturers having to build drivers that translate touchpad signals into mouse and gesture inputs, Windows 10 can understand the inputs directly.
In other words, on devices with supported hardware, the implementation can provide a more accurate and reliable pointer, and it enables additional features, such as a broader range of multi-touch gestures, accidental activation prevention, battery life, security, and the ability to customize many additional settings.
