HP has updated the TouchSmart line with new entries, including the first consumer convertible notebook supporting Windows 7 multitouch. The tx2 is the evolution of the convertible notebook line aimed at consumers, and it brings Windows 7 multitouch to market starting at $799.
The tx2 is officially part of the TouchSmart line, HP’s product line aimed at bringing multitouch computers into the home. It features two digitizers, an active digitizer requiring a pen and providing full Tablet PC features, along with a capacitive two finger touch digitizer for finger operation. The 12.1-inch WXGA screen can swivel for operation in either notebook or slate mode.
The new tx2 runs the AMD Turion X2 processor and can be configured with either 4 or 8 GB of memory. The notebook features HP fancy imprinting on the case and the interior surfaces. The new Tablet PC gains the HP TouchSmart software as part of the rebranding.
