Being the first in everything is not always good. Buying a first generation touch screen technology laptop like the HP TouchSmart TX2 is perhaps more like a gimmick rather than a necessity now. The HP TouchSmart TX2 is the newest version of HP’s affordable range of tablet computers. HP had started manufacturing such tablet computers well than a year before Microsoft’s Windows 7; an operating system that is built especially for use with touch screen technology will be released. One thing is for sure. HP has been showing itself strongly to the consumers that the company will be a strong player in the computer industry when Windows 7 comes out.

HP should already be ready for the era of Windows 7. HP should be ready to produce & sell more products that use Windows 7 as HP’s first generation touch screen technology will only be improved. Currently touch screen technology is ok, not great, still lags here & there as seen in videos – not something one would want to splurge for other than for necessity. HP will be in the lead, at least among the leaders, or maintain & make better its current standing as top computer manufacturer as Windows 7 & a second generation touch screen technology is going to be a great combo. Asus & Lenovo seems to be heading the same way too.
