By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Jan 6th 2010 No Comments

HP have outed their latest notebooks and netbooks at CES 2010, and like we’ve seen from other manufacturers the theme seems to be touch-sensitivity. Biggest is the HP TouchSmart tm2, a convertible tablet PC which replaces the company’s tx2, with a 12.1-inch WXGA capacitive touchscreen, Intel Core 2 Duo processor and optional ATI Mobility Radeon GPU. However there’s also a 10.1-inch Atom N450 netbook, the HP Mini 5102, which has a multitouch-touchscreen option of its own.

It comes as no surprise to see Lenovo launch their latest netbooks, the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3 and S10-3t, since we’ve already caught sight of the latter squeezing through the FCC complete with a multitouch display. That display, Lenovo say, makes the S10-3t the industry’s first convertible netbook to use a capacitive, multitouch-capable screen; both models have a 10.1-inch 16:9 display, along with a choice of Intel’s Atom N450 1.66GHz or – when it hits the market later in 2010 – Atom N470 1.83GHz processors.

Even though the true identity of the domain name was set to private, there was a small window where Apple’s ownership info was exposed and then changed back a few weeks later. iSlate.com doesn’t point anywhere for now, but there are lots of speculations of Apple announcing a tablet early 2010.

cpt capacitive touch panel When it comes to capacitive touchscreens, we’ll lean toward the “bigger is better” end of the spectrum until things start getting too ridiculous. So it’s good to hear that the retro-named Chunghwa Picture Tube (CPT) has begun producing 21.5-inch projective capacitive touch panels for validation by clients.
