Now let me see where on Earth did I hear such a terrific idea? I mean, making a notebook similar to the iPhone but slightly bigger seems quite an innovating concept that someone is rumored to already have. Where on Apple did I hear it then?

HP appears to be in good shape to compete against a rumored Apple product, the MacBook touch. And I actually trust they will do a fine job. After launching their touch desktop they should be able to get a hit touch laptop.

The new system is going to be launch in about 18 months, which is quite a wait. HP will join Dell which already has a tablet PC, the Latitude XT with multitouch support. Hopefully more multitouch notebooks are going to be developed in the near future. We’d certainly love getting our hands on any of these models.
