How to Upgrade an Old, Slow Computer (and when you shouldn't).Does Your Internet Router Auto-Update? (it should.).What do you think about the Sprout? Is there still a place in your life for desktop PCs? Post your comment or question below. As of this writing, they are offering a discount of 8 percent, free 2-day shipping, and free returns.

Best Buy and Microsoft stores will have them starting November 9th. The HP Sprout is shipping now, with an estimated delivery time of 11 calendar days. The brilliant obviousness of the two-screen paradigm makes me think this design is the inevitable future of most touch-centric desktop systems. My guess is that HP is testing the waters, to see where the demand spectrum lies for a product like this.

But clearly, the included software is designed to appeal to home users of all ages. So is the Sprout for work, or scrapbooking and other consumer applications? The overall intention seems to be “work,” especially considering the system’s $1,899 list price. The bundled PianoTime app can be used to create real music, not just to peck out “Chopsticks” in an awkward vertical plane. Working while video conferencing is also possible with two screens, especially when the horizontal one is hidden from the view of other video conference participants.

DreamWorks Story Pro lets you create DreamWorks animation movie scenes. Sprout comes with a Crayola app for kids, and Martha Stewart software for making your own cards, invitations and scrapbook pages.

Sprout run Windows 8.1 and comes with Beats Audio, which HP says gives you the "best-sounding, richest audio available on a PC." HP’s Workspace app makes available all the Touch Mat amenities. The Sprout is no slouch, sporting an 23-inch LED-backlit LCD monitor, 64-bit Intel Core i7-4790S processor, 8GB of RAM, an Nvidia GeForce GT 745A with 2GB of DDR3 dedicated memory, and a 1TB hybrid drive that combines a 1TB hard drive with 8GB of solid-state memory for faster performance. I think it's amazing that we've almost reached the point where a person sitting at home can place an object in front of their computer and say "Make me one of these!" Sprout: Specs and Apps You'll have to wait until some time in 2016 for that product. Speaking of 3D printers, HP also announced the HP Multi Jet Fusion, a 3D printer that promises to speed up the process by a factor of ten, by printing on multiple axes and applying multiple materials at once. Then you can play with your virtual object using CAD and other 3D software, even converting it to data files for 3D printers to ooze into reality. The 3D Snapshot software lets you stitch together several scans and see how an object looks from any angle. The Touch Mat is also the scanning bed for documents and 3D objects that fit on the 20-inch mat. HP includes several apps that take advantage of this tech for things like scrapbooking, photo editing, and graphic design. Using fingers or a stylus, you can draw on the Touch Mat comfortably while watching the results on the vertical screen. You now have two screens one for input and the other for output. There you go: now the images you’re supposed to touch are where your fingers can reach them easily, without stretching your arms over a temporarily useless keyboard to reach a vertical screen! The Touch Mat has a magnetic docking connector that eliminates cables and the vagaries of wireless links. The Illuminator (which I am sorely tempted to call The Spout) projects images down onto the flexible Touch Mat. The column houses a projector, scanner, and several cameras that detect infrared as well as visible light, capturing images in 3D with Intel’s RealSense technology which debuts in the Sprout. The silvery “shower head” that overhangs the monitor is the bendable part of the Illuminator Column which runs up the monitor’s back. It has a modern touchscreen, but it also has a futuristic keyless, flexible Touch Mat surface that accepts touch input and displays virtual objects, including keys. The HP Sprout is a space-saving all-in-one desktop computing system, with everything that usually fills a bulky chassis neatly hidden in the flat-screen monitor and its stand. I've never believed that the Day of the Desktop is over, and apparently HP doesn't think so, either. In response to the increasing popularity of tablets and smartphones, many pundits have declared that we've entered the "Post-PC Era." It's as if we're all supposed to toss our desktop computers in the recycle bin and squeeze our digital lives onto a 4, 7 or 10-inch screen.
