When Microsoft’s Windows 8 launches this October, hundreds of new Windows 8 laptops will come with it. Most of these will be re-launches, but some of them bring something really new and desirable.
Many were wondering why the touchscreen is solely reserved for tablets and smartphones and the answer is not hardware technology, but software. It might be surprising, but the hardware and the associated production costs were not the problem.
The problem was the software support for the touch interface.
That task was left to the system manufacturer and it really is a lot of work to make software that’s perfectly compatible with a certain hardware configuration, a certain operating system and all the software and games you will run on it.
Now that Microsoft took care of that and the operating system handles the touch interface, any touch-enabled device will work perfectly with Windows 8.
Among all the tablets, transformers and AIOs, Toshiba is launching a classic notebook powered by Intel’s Ivy Bridge that has the novelty of featuring a touchscreen with multi-touch support.
The new device is called Toshiba Satellite P845 and features a rather small 14” TruBrite LED backlit display and premium multimedia capabilities.
The almost decade-old collaboration between Toshiba and harman/kardon brought high-quality SRS Premium Sound 3D speakers to the new P845 laptop, while the images can also be transmitted through Intel’s WiDi wireless display technology.
The P845 comes with a standard 6 GB of DDR3 RAM memory and a modest 640 GB HDD, but the way the global duopoly on the HDD market is going, we can’t expect anything better.
There are three USB 3.0 ports complete with USB Sleep-and-Charge and USB Sleep-and-Music and an optional Blu-ray Disc drive.
The price has not yet been disclosed, but the device will be available once Microsoft launches Windows 8 this autumn.
