Hewlett Packard has a new multi-touch tablet PC.

The Touchsmart tx2 lets users select and drag files with their fingertips. HP's previous Touchsmart machines were desktops created as all-purpose family machines to check e-mail, leave messages, listen to music and view photos.

"Breezing through websites and enjoying photos or video at the tap, whisk or flick of a finger is an entirely new way to enjoy digital content on a notebook PC," said Ted Clark, the manager of HP's notebook group, in a press release.

The tablet also has a standard keyboard and mouse, and a digital pen to take notes directly onto the screen.

Early reviews of the machine are favorable. Gizmodo called it a "multi-touch wonder." LAPTOP magazine reported that while the touch screen isn't as user friendly as the iPhone, the experience is pleasant. And Stuff.tv praised the laptop's swivel display, "which lets you caress your snaps and flick through tunes without having to resort to the keyboard."

The new laptop comes at a time when HP is doing remarkably well, given the economic climate. HP's stock went up 14.5 percent yesterday, The Associated Press reported. The company also announced that fourth-quarter and 2009 results would be better than expected, according to the report.

The tablet is available beginning today starting at $1,149. To see a video demo of what it's capable of, click here or watch the following video:
