When Hewlett-Packard unveiled its TouchSmart “kitchen” PC that is specifically designed for the family, it gave consumers a glimpse at the real-world uses of a touchscreen PC.
The company is now building on that success by releasing the TouchSmart TX2, its first multi-touch tablet for Windows.
Just like the other products in the TouchSmart line, the TX2 is built around multimedia. The touch functionality is in full use, although it is quite limited when it comes to other applications.
The TX2, though billed as a multi-touch PC, also stretches that claim a bit as the gestures that you can use are still limited to two fingers.
The TX2 has the following specs: a 12-inch widescreen, a stylus, dual-layer DVD burner, three USB ports, multi-card reader, 250GB 5400-rpm hard drive, a 2.2-GHz AMD Turion X2 ZM-82 processor, and 4GB of memory.
The price is pegged at $1,149.
