HP Launches Industry's First Convertible Notebook PC
With Multi-Touch Input Technology
HP's new tx2 is the industry’s first convertible notebook PC with multi-touch technology. The tx2 gives you the choice to set aside the keyboard and mouse in favor of a more natural user interface – the fingertip.
HP’s multi-touch display delivers quick and easy access to information, entertainment and other media. The tx2 recognizes simultaneous input from more than one finger using “capacitive multi-touch technology,” which enables the use of gestures such as pinch, rotate, arc, flick, press and drag, and single and double tap.
The convertible design with a twist hinge allows you to enjoy the TouchSmart in three modes: PC, display and tablet. With a rechargeable digital ink pen, you can turn the tx2 into a tablet PC to write, sketch, draw, take notes or graph right onto the screen – and then automatically convert handwriting into typed text.
Starting at less than 4.5 pounds, the tx2 is powered by the AMD Turion™ X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile Processor or AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor and a 12.1-inch diagonal BrightView LED display. The tx2 is available in a wide array of build-to-order options.
Call us at (888) 364-3623 for more information on this breakthrough new notebook that puts the power of HP right at your fingertips.
