HP HAS ANNOUNCED its two new consumer notebooks, both of which feature multi-touch displays.
The oddly-named HP ENVY x2 is “a powerful and ultrathin hybrid PC with the advantages of two devices in one,” says HP’s blurb. “As a notebook that doubles as a tablet, the HP ENVY x2 has a detachable screen that becomes a full tablet when separated from the keyboard via a seamless magnetic latch. Customers no longer have to choose between a product that lets them create rich content and another that lets them enjoy entertainment on the go.”
Also unveiled is the HP ENVY TouchSmart Ultrabook 4, which “brings the intuitive power of touch to ultramobile PCs.
The first HP PCs to feature Microsoft Windows 8, they are both expected to be available in NZ later this year, with pricing to be confirmed.
