The Gal – Nicole

This is so gonna be a long post… of the lovely HP TouchSmart, gorgeous venue and the very wonderful people that night. So sit back, get a drink or two, and be ready for one long post!

Before I carry on, allow me… to get you just in the mood of…. touching….

the HP TouchSmart…

Held at brotzeit – german bar and restuarant, of vivocity, this place was chosen to be the venue of the HP TouchSmart launch. Reason being? Cos HP launched its products in Berlin, Germany, and it couldn’t be better to have similar settings in Sinapore!

A little camwhoring outside the venue…

Notice the poster?

We were then ushered in, and voila… look what’s that!~ Shrouded by a piece of purple cloth…

and yes! behold the HP TouchSmart! Bloggers being bloggers, we can’t resist snapping the pictures upon the product being unveiled. These was after a short presentation by Ms Chua Hwee Koon.

Finally, we lay hands on the TouchSmart and try it out to see for ourselves… I quite like the touch interface, although it leaves me to desire even more, and with multi touch support, that would be great… ala Minority Report.

The 22″ wide screen display makes all the graphics look so sharp, and not only that, Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM makes this machine truly powerful, and not to mention, there is another variant, that comes with a TV tuner. With that, which means, you can have a PC and TV rolled into one! Wicked!

Apart from that, photos can be easily uploaded, via the SD card slot… but can other forms of media be read? Like the Memory Stick? (am not very sure) This would appeal to shutterbugs!

With one touch of the finger, one can use the HP TouchSmart easily, like opening music files, videos, and even to surf the net. The cool part would be 2 finger scrolling in IE browser!

Photo editing is simple and a breeze, to get the desired dimension of cropping the photos… as well as scribbling notes or even taking down a simple voice note. The built in camera is a disappointment though, with a maximum resolution of 640 x 480.

On the last note, I like the ambient lighting, which allows the keyboard to be illuminated, using it without problems in dim or dark places. Hehe…

The event would not be complete without the people, drinks and food.
