Will Table PC Become a Permanent Coffee Table Fixture?: Figure 1
Lenovo IdeaCentre Horizon Table PC

In a world where most people walk around with a tiny computer in their pockets, portable computing seems to be an unquestioned good. However, a new product highlights the potential usages of a much less mobile computer.

On Sunday at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Lenovo presented the IdeaCentre Horizon Table PC, a 27-inch tablet designed to live near-permanently on your coffee table, reported the New York Daily News.

The enormous, 15-pound tablet has enough room for as many as four people — ten fingers — to interact with it at once, creating opportunities for game playing, screen watching and whatever else comes to mind. Instead of solitary clicking, the table PC lends itself to social interactivity. The price for this new gadget will be $1,699 and it should be on sale by this summer.

As CES continues this week, we’ll keep our eyes peeled for more products that relate to life in the home.
