HP Touchsmart tm2 Tablet

The next generation of the world’s first multi-touch consumer tablet PC, the HP TouchSmart tm2 offers you the versatility to touch, draw, or type. The unique, convertible design offers a full-size keyboard and can also be used in slate mode as a sketchpad with a digital pen.

This tablet PC provides a full notebook experience with power-efficient Intel processors and discrete graphics upgrades to meet your performance and budget needs, yet has the stamina to keep going all day with up to 8 hours of battery life.

We have found the tm2 Tablet to be usable, but a little lacking in processor power to be truly useful as a pure multitouch device.
