Get ready for a whole new experience as Hewlett Packard introduces its
all new Sprout. The all new HP sprout replaces the standard keyboard and
mouse with a 20-point, 20 inch projected touchpad. Besides the projector, the
Sprout also has a high resolution camera and a 3D scanner that allows you to easily
‘upload’ objects into the Sprout just by placing the object on the mat.

Now, let us have a look at the specification that this
high-end computer has got under its cover.
The all-in-one Personal Computer, The Sprout itself is
pretty unremarkable. It has a Core i7 CPU, 8GB of RAM, a 23-inch touchscreen
and comes with the Microsoft Windows 8.1. It comes with a large 20-inch
touchpad, or we should rather say a 20-inch mat that supports 20 point
multitouch which makes it possible for more than one user to work on it at same time. The
charm of Sprout, though, is in the visor like outgrowth that sprouts out the
top of the display screen, which HP call the HP Illuminator. Apart from all
these, there is an Intel RealSense 3D camera, a 14.6 megapixel camera, and an
HP DLP Projector. It also has a LED desk lamp which could rather prove to be
useful for work. I would also like to point out the fact that you do get a wireless
mouse and keyboard with the Sprout, but using them would definitely question
the features if the Sprout.

All of these exciting features of Sprout combine to provide
an interesting blend of functions, from projecting a keyboard to scanning
objects and documents. The Sprout is surely going to be a thing of interest for
the young ones. But, this amazing thing
also has con, it does not support gesture based inputs in spite of having such
a high tech being integrated.
After reading all this, if you decide to get your hands on
the HP Sprout, you can pre-order it on the HP Website, and it is tagged at a price
of $1900. And more significantly, Best Buy and Microsoft Stores will have the
HP Sprout on display, if you just want to try it out before making a final
decision.
Thanks for reading!! Please do share it!!
