    HP launches new touchscreen PC

    Tue 10-Jun-2008

    Hewlett-Packard (HP) has launched its new TouchSmart PC range, it has been reported.

    The firm claims its second-generation touchscreen models have bigger screens and twice the amount of memory as the previous range, according to PC Pro.

    HP's IQ504 and IQ506 will come complete with a 22-inch widescreen display and 4GB of RAM and feature an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and a choice of 320GB or 500GB hard drive.

    The new TouchSmarts – replacing the award-winning first generation released last May – will be available next month, and although a US price of $1,299 has been announced no UK prices have been released yet.

    Meanwhile, at the beginning of the year Apple launched its MacBook air – a laptop that is just three-quarters of an inch thick with a 13.3-inch LED screen.

    The website reports that HP has announced a new laptop that is 0.06-inches thinner than Apple's revolutionary model.

    It claims the Voodoo Envy 133 is 0.7 inches thick and weighs 1.54kg.
