    Chromebooks vs Laptops - What are they and their uses
    If you're looking for a new portable computer, we offer Chromebooks as part of our extensive laptop range. But what is a Chromebook, and could it be the perfect choice for you? Or would a traditional Windows-based laptop better suit your application?

    This article will look at the pros and cons of a Chromebook vs laptops available from the HP store to help you make the right choice.

    Best HP Laptops with Touch Screen
    Touch screens are a familiar sight, from the smartphone in your pocket to the self-service supermarket checkout. Touch screens are intuitive and easy to use and make interactions with technology much quicker.

    Laptops with touch screen technology are now a common option, but how do they work, and should you have this feature on your list of requirements next time you look for a new computer from the range of HP touch screen laptops?

    How touch screens work

    There are two main types of touch screen technology, resistive and capacitive. 

    Resistive technology touch screens work by detecting the pressure of an object, such as a finger or a pen, pressing against the screen. It does this by making the screen from two conductive layers with a separating layer of insulating material.

Circuitry attached to the screen detects this change and works out precisely where this change occurred.
