HP : the digital revolution at our fingertips!

You are not a very handy type! Don’t worry, you can’t go wrong. Even If you haven’t got the slightest clue about where to get started, just let your ‘fingers do the walking’ over the latest version of TouchSmart IQ810, the freshly launched HP tactile PC. Don’t forget, HP, known for its cutting edge technology, is leader in this range of equipment! We have witnessed the entry of mobile phones on the market and the GPS and now, the news is officially out: from now on, your computer screen will bow to your every command, too, just at the touch of a finger, and who knows maybe later just at the bat of your pretty little eyes… Here’s the scoop about the big brother to TouchSmart IQ500 that was already a great hit last summer.
Getting the right touch is what it is all about!

At first glance, you could easily mistake HP TouchSmart IQ810 for iMac’s umpteenth clone but in a lacquered black version, with its central unit integrated into the monitor and its design screen that comes close to 25 inches. And yet with this latest gadget for geeks, not only do we gain considerable extra space, but we also reap the full benefits of the digital revolution, just at our fingertips. Photos, agenda, music, video...now, this entire little world can be accessed in a highly sensitive manner, simply by stroking the screen like we do for a GPS or an iPhone. Of course, for the time being, we have to leave aside, our ingrained reflex to instinctively reach for the keyboard and the mouse (still present nevertheless, and increasingly flatter), but once we have tested out this new mode of expression, and leave digital Post-its to the family on the screen rather than on the refrigerator door, then we are well on our way to forgetting the very existence of keys ...

HP for peace at home...

Computers in homes are said to have a disastrous impact on family life, sending family members off to little corners with their laptops, isolated, reduced to spending their social time with the computer, HP has mobilized its resources full speed to do something about that sad state of affairs and has proven to us, with its 25-inch high definition screen (Full HD), a Blu-Ray reader, a TV tuner and speakers that are worthy of this name, that now the whole family can sit together around a single screen to share in the joys and sorrows of the latest episode of Desperate Housewives. That’s a positive spin off of digital technology, I would say!...
