ORIGIN PC is now shipping Microsoft’s new Windows 8 Operating System on their full line of award-winning desktops and laptops for gamers, artists, professionals and enthusiasts. Windows 8 has been redesigned with a new intuitive interface that provides instant access to contacts, apps, games and personal data, yet still offers the same foundation from Windows 7.
Windows 8 adds a variety of new features such as significantly faster boot up times, cloud connectivity, multi-touch support for the EON17-SLX laptops, and multi-touch support for 3rd party Microsoft certified peripherals to provide a new experience on your ORIGIN system. ORIGIN PC will continue to offer and ship orders with Windows 7 post launch to provide a robust custom experience for all customers.
Windows 8 is only intuitive if you use a Windows phone! I’m always trying to swipe the screen on my laptop (not a touch screen), which doesn’t work!!!
I tried to swipe my porch window but the only thing that happened was that the dog’s nose prints disappeared…
I’ve been using Windows 8 since the RTM came out and have the release running on this machine. I really wouldn’t want to go back to Windows 7 now.
What are you using for a touch panel?
I’m using a laptop. No touch panel, just a mouse with a scroll wheel. Works great for me. Mostly I use the desktop which can be reached with one click, but I am more and more using the tiles which strike me as just a fancy start menu. I don’t miss the start button at all.
