HP’s TouchSmart tx2 Consumer Laptop
New gadgets these days are all about being ‘touchy feely’ and HP’s latest laptop is probably the most tactile one out there. Using HP’s TouchSmart technology, the tx2 laptop is a multi-touch ready laptop that allows owners to use not one, but two hands, to manipulate on-screen content, like moving or cropping photos. This is accomplished via the MediaSmart digital entertainment software onboard, which allows you to manage all your music, video and Web content using your grubby fingertips too. “Breezing through websites and enjoying photos or video at the tap, whisk or flick of a finger is an entirely new way to enjoy digital content on a notebook PC,” said Ted Clark, senior vice president and general manager, Notebook Global Business Unit, Personal Systems Group, HP. The tx2 recognizes simultaneous input from more than one finger using what HP calls “capacitive multi-touch technology,” letting you use gestures like pinch, rotate, arc, flick, press and drag, and single and double tap. The display is also on a swivel-mount which means you can use it as a regular PC, a display or a tablet. A rechargeable digital ink pen lets you write, sketch, draw, take notes or graph right onto the screen - all of which can be converted into typed text. Running Vista Home Premium, the tx2 has a 12.1in display and is powered by a choice of AMD Turion X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile Processor or the Dual-Core Mobile Processor. It’s out here in January and will cost £799, which isn’t too bad for a laptop that encourages dirty fingerprints all over the display.-Martin Lynch laptop touchscreen mobile
