Windows 8 OS,Tablet, New Win 8 PCs News Thread

I was wondering when someone was going to release something like this. It does not seem as thin as tablets such as the transformer though and perhaps not as light weight either.

So they name it life backwards (vita = life).

Do you want to field test that hinge design?

 

[Stargazer]

I wonder what the thickness of this is compared to other tablets on the market, including the keyboard. I assume that the keys do not function while it is folded underneath.

Yawn. HP trying to copy Apple.

I always maintained, and still do, that the all in ones are not a very good idea.

The keyboard and trackpad look like exact duplicates to Apple's hardware! HP is a joke.....

If they can do it for hundreds less, why not?

It seems a shame that they took out touch screen capability.

I think it looks pretty slick, although I dont like that they left out touch screen capability.

One big difference seems to be HP using an "active" base. The isn't a very good picture that shows how thick the base is that houses the CPU, SDD, memory, etc., but it's big enough to house the Beats Audio speaker.

I have a question: isn't Spectre a hardware manufacturer? I know we had Spectre LCD screens 5 or 6 years ago. Did HP buy them, or did they go under?

Has anyone seen or used the Vizio all-in-one?

Edit: The LCD manufacturer is Sceptre, not Spectre. Spectre is Blofel's organization from the Bond films and books.

Didn't notice foxbat's correction until it was too late

You must not have read the article! It said that it will start at $1300, that's $100 more than an entry level iMac. Might be a tough sell, but of course, the whole Windows PC market is a tough sell if you like to make lots of money.
