In all the cool television show they have a tablet ;-)

Seriously though, today more and more laptops have a touch-sensitive
screen. And a long press is equal to right click and I do find it
comfortable to have.
I didn't know GMail had a right click-menu, but since I've learned about
it, I've been using it and finding it handy (even though the buttons are
just on top and not far away from the email list).
