The big launch of Microsoft's latest operating software, Windows 8, is slated for later this year and it's already got some major manufacturers eagerly on their toes. Windows 8 is said to work better with touch capable devices and will enhance efficiency like never before. Manufacturers are already coming up with ways to innovate ultrabooks, netbooks and tablets. Even Dell laptops are being renovated into hybrid devices. And they're not stopping at laptops. Big brands like Dell are preparing a range of new hybrids including tablets and ultrabooks.
According to DigiTimes reports, the ultrabooks available to consumers today are not adequate enough for touch technology because users might accidentally push the top panel of the laptop forward when trying to tap the touch screen. What's worse is the entire laptop could fall backward if the touch screen is pushed too hard.
To solve this problem, manufacturers are ditching the traditional clamshell design and gravitating toward something innovative and futuristic. Now on the table are designs featuring rotating or sliding screens, which would allow the laptop to function as a tablet as well. An example of this is a laptop that folds around completely into a tablet, and the keyboard on the reverse side would be automatically disabled when shifted.
Another feature option for future laptops are track pads. Historically, track pads have proven to be more accurate and user-friendly on laptops in comparison to touch screens. A track pad would be more comfortable to use because users can select items using right clicks. Copying and pasting text would also be made easier with a track pad.
In the past, manufacturers have innovated products with similar ideas. For example, they developed several high-tech laptops with rotating screens in various directions. And these even include stylus pens to be used to draw on the screen. The text written or drawn on the screen could then be immediately transferred into typed text. This type of technology did not incorporate a full touch screen, but was headed in that direction. Some of the laptops currently being developed are even going to include a docking station and Bluetooth keyboard. This trend toward touch screen devices has obviously taken off with smartphones and will likely be just as popular with computing devices. Analysts call the touch trend "the Apple effect."
And with all things touch screen, the price tag will reflect the advanced technology. Touch screen products will certainly cost significantly more than the traditional track pad and keyboard products. But if you're a Windows enthusiast, you'll want to get your hands on Windows 8. And in order to enjoy the full benefits of Windows 8 technology, you'll need a touch screen hybrid device.
