You mean you need that to display the same on every category, or you need to add a category-specific set of tabs, displaying only entries of the category that is currently being viewed?

If you need all tabs, simply grab the displayHomeTabs and displayHomeTabsCOntent hooks that you find in index.tpl and try copying them into category.tpl

 

    {if isset($HOOK_HOME_TAB) && $HOOK_HOME_TAB|trim}

        <ul id="home-page-tabs" class="nav nav-tabs clearfix">

{$HOOK_HOME_TAB}

</ul>

{/if}

<div class="tab-content">{$HOOK_HOME_TAB_CONTENT}</div>

 

I am not totally sure it will work. If not, you need to create new hooks there, and register them in the module you want to plug in to that page

Hie. How do I display products per category on my homepage with each category having a title e.g LAPTOPS as well as "New Arrivals" "Best Sellers" "Popular" tabs per each category.

It would be complicated to explain you the whole procedure. It also depends on which category you want to  display products of.
Create a module, then a method named hookDisplayHome. Inside it, create a new category instance for each of the ones you need, and then again

$category->getProducts(); to get them. Of course, you need to assign them all to the template in the end

Thanx Nemo, it turned out that the theme developers had disabled the widget heading in the code, so i had to add the following code to the widget_producttabs.tpl file.

{if isset($widget_heading)&&!empty($widget_heading)}
    <h4 class=”title_block”>
        {$widget_heading}
    </h4>
    {/if}
