HP Launches First Multi-touch Laptop, the TouchSmart tx2
Author: Chris19 Nov
The first multi-touch laptop was bound to be released sooner or later, especially with Windows Mobile 7 being developed to support multi-touch. And it was HP, not Apple, that managed to pull it off. The TouchSmart tx2 will get you multi-touch two-finger control but there’s a catch to it. The whole multi-touch thing works only with the HP MediaSmart suite of applications.
The TouchSmart tx2 is a 12.1 inch laptop which can get you up to 8GB of RAM. An AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core processor will power it all up and you can opt for storage space anywhere from 160 to 500GB. The WXGA screen has an embedded N-trig digitizer which will help you do all that multi-touching. No word on availability and pricing yet, but we’ll keep you posted!
With the first multi-touch laptop already out, we’re going to wait for the rest of them to appear.
