Hands On With the UrbanMax, Intel’s Concept Tablet Notebook… Thing

This year ’s Intel Developer Forum is all about different contour - factors , with wall of about monovular MIDs , right smart too many netbooks and this unusual animal , the Intel UrbanMax concept . The epitome is running a Core 2 Duo ( at least for now ) crammed into a fragile , quasi - tablet case , with an 11 inchN - trim DuoSensecapacative multitouch covert and provender for a WiMax connexion built in . The UrbanMax form - constituent is a novel take on the old tablet conception , and mayhap a superior one .

The figure is chance on and at first pretty unearthly , but there ’s virtually no learning curve to fold or using the UrbanMax . Typing on the roomy keyboard feels like using a desktop , as there is no hand rest to perch the heel of your hand on . There ’s a unique electrostatic computer mouse button , which is like a mellow - technical school hybrid between a touchpad and the venerableIBM / Lenovo nipple . It takes a instant to get the bent of and I think it could use a small calibration , but sweeping your fingertip across the sensor yields predictable , precise control over the mouse . Intel articulate that the UrbanMax is intended primarily as a touch gadget ( which I suppose means they design it for people who do n’t , you know ever write words , or something ) . It ’s got two or three apps with rudimentary multitouch control , but as with most feeling solutions that prevail atop XP or Vista they feel like an reconsideration . The actual tactual sensation hardware is very sensitive and among the most responsive I have used on screens this size . Intel tell they are hoping that a ironware manufacturer will nibble this blueprint up and incline with it , so anticipate a few fresh takes on the UrbanMax concept in the nigh future .
