Microsoft computer without mouse and keyboard
Microsoft has introduced a new touch computer Surface in the form of a coffee table.
The main innovation is the lack of a traditional mouse and keyboard. Instead, users control the computer by touching the surface with their fingers or, for example, with a brush.
Unlike most touchscreens, Surface can respond to more than one touch per unit of time. According to the developers, the computer will be able to respond to the simultaneous contact of several people at once.

Under the touch surface of the computer are five cameras that are able to scan nearby objects. With their help, the computer reads barcodes printed on ordinary objects.
According to the Associated Press agency, one of the first Surface models should appear in the stores of the mobile operator T-Mobile to help customers choose mobile phones: the computer, in particular, will read the phone's barcode and give all the information about it.
In addition, buyers will be able to choose a tariff plan and ring tones, “dragging” them on the touch screen of the computer to the phone.
Up to 10 thousand dollars
According to representatives of Microsoft, initially the new computer will be delivered to corporate customers, including hotels, casinos, shops selling phones and restaurants.
The initial price of Surface with a 30-inch (76 cm) screen will be 5-10 thousand dollars. The company said that in the next three to five years, they intend to begin production of cheaper versions of the touch computer for home conditions.
Recently, Microsoft has released several new devices that have been differently accepted by the market.
For example, if the Xbox game console was a success, the Zune music player could not make a real competition for Apple’s iPod.
