HP TouchSmart tx2 is the industry’s first convertible notebook PC with multi-touch technology designed specifically for consumers. The HP TouchSmart tx2 Notebook PC is developed for people on the go who value having their digital content at their fingertips – literally. Powered by the AMD Turion X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile Processor or AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor and built on Windows Vista Home Premium, the HP tx2 will be made available worldwide in an array of configure-to-order options. The convertible design with a twist hinge allows consumers to enjoy the TouchSmart in three modes: PC, display and tablet. With a rechargeable digital ink pen, users 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. The HP tx2 gives customers the choice to set aside the keyboard and mouse in favor of a more natural user interface – the fingertip. Starting at less than 4.5 pounds, the tx2 possesses a 12.1-inch diagonal BrightView LED display and an HP Imprint “Reaction” design. The HP TouchSmart tx2 series is ENERGY STAR qualified and EPEAT Silver registered. The HP TouchSmart tx2 is available in the United States at www.hpdirect.com with a starting U.S. price of $1,149.
