Looking for some cool new event tech to have at the reg desk, the internet cafe or on your desk in the office (or the living room for that matter)…….

Check out the HP TouchSmart IQ770.

This is one cool machine. It combines the best of a laptop (portability – a relative thought, you won’t be dragging this thing to the coffee shop) with the strengths of a desktop (power and substance) all wrapped up with a huge touchscreen.

Relatively inexpensive, it is very functional and event friendly.

Very cool indeed.

To view the specs right from the HP Website:

It has a lot of great features that you will find handy such as integrated touchscreen, lots of RAM and the ability to upgrade to Vista Professional!

At the reg desk, the touchscreen and the right program can make event registration a breeze! With the built in WebCam, it is great for video meetings, video blogging or even for sending video postcards from the event floor (a good plug for one of our services!).

You can pack this thing up and take it with, and set up a machine that looks like it belongs at the event. Almost like it was meant to be there.

You can find it at all of the usual suspects, the next time you are at Best Buy, take a spin through the computer aisle and have a look. PC Magazine loved this thing and said it is going to give the Mac a run for its money.

I happen to think that it is form and function all wrapped up in a great package.

Just a thought,

Keith
