HP has announced its range of touch-based Windows 8 computing devices, but remained stingy when it came to giving out details about the hardware and price. While no product page is available, HP has out up an announcement slider here.
These notebooks will be HP's first offerings based on Microsoft's new OS. First up we have the ENVY x2, the flagship offering in the laptop-cum-tablet segment. The highlight of this product is its detachable screen that docks with the keyboard through a magnetic latch, thus allowing you to easily convert between the two form factors, somewhat similar to Apple's Smart Cover. While details are scarce, here are the confirmed specifications:
11.6" touch display with 1366x768 pixels (135 ppi), 400 nit IPS panel.
8 mp rear camera, HD (720p) front camera.
Beats Audio integration.
NFC, optional stylus.
SSD storage.
1.4 kg total weight, 700 grammes in tablet mode (without keyboard dock).
