Touchsmart Technology

Touchsmart 300 and 600 Series PCs: Reflecting its leadership in the Area of Personal Computing, HP today uses touch technology in a variety of products, including the HP TouchSmart tx2 Notebook PC, the first multi-touch enabled consumer notebook; as well as the HP iPAQ Data Messenger, the HP iPAQ Voice Messenger and select HP Photosmart printers and HP business monitors.

Such products deliver to consumers fun and exciting ways to use touch as never before. Indeed, this is a prime objective for vendors and an overriding goal behind fully utilising touch technology. This is partly because research has shown that people who are not technologically aware, still view a basic PC keyboard as having a huge intimidation factor. It goes without saying that a computer has its own unique language, so to the unacquainted and non-tech savvy among us, the function of a control key, for example, will mean very little.

HP's Touchsmart PC is the company's flagship product in the Desktop Computing Arena. The latest of this category being the two new entrants, Touchsmart 300 and 600 series PCs. These new TouchSmart solutions redefine what you can do with touch, and what touch can do for you.

In addition to new software and built-for-touch for a rich, interactive multimedia experience, this next wave of multitouch computing includes new sleek and stunning HP TouchSmart solutions for home and business.
