Posted on November 25th, 2008 in Laptops , , ,


From our better late than never department: HP has its multi-touch desktop PCs with multi-touch convertible tablet PC, the HP Touch Smart tx2z. This allows you to edit objects on the screen with your fingers, as with the Apple iPhone or HTC Touch, etc.

HP has to sell touch-screen PC-DOS in the 1980s, but that’s not smart touch is based on technology from HP. It is based on N-trigger DuoSense group, which is against any LCD screen. (DuoSense both the pen / stylus and touchscreen / multi-touch.) Even if Microsoft said that adding the multi-button features of Windows 7, N-Trigger’s is for Windows Vista.

Vista also supports the operation and feather “movies”, and includes the recognition of the letter.

Touch smart tx2z has a 12.1-inch display, 2.1GHz AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core, 3 GB of RAM and a 250 GB hard drive for $ 1149.99. The systems are in the United Kingdom in January, from £ 799th

The form factor is a convertible, known for many years Tablet PC with a touchscreen. It can be a laptop with a traditional keyboard. You can also rotate the screen and that most of the time around the keyboard for converting to a list tablets or hardware, then use a pencil to write by hand on the screen. Or your fingers.

Background: Bill Gates with the promotion of the Tablet PC in his speech before COMDEX in November 2000, but companies like Go, Slate, and GRID systems are under development in the 1980s. Windows for Pen Computing published in 1991, the Apple Newton in 1993 and the Palm Pilot in 1996. Microsoft has another go with Otto Berkes, “certain characteristics (aka Origami), the People’s Party is now in training with machines such as the Samsung Q1. But after 20 years, which have not yet in the mainstream.

The enormous success of Apple’s iPhone already has the pill makers another chance. The question now is whether it will be a success.
