Table tablet the next big thing

Table tablet the next big thingIf we all start carting these around on the Tube, rush hour could soon be even more of a squash.
But after years of ever-smaller gadgets, the world’s largest tablet could soon be the new tech must-have.
The table-top PC serves as a Monopoly board and can be used for games of air hockey – with players sitting at either end.
The 68cm (27in) Lenovo Horizon will also plug into your TV box or games console but comes at the suitably sizeable price of £1,499.99.
When flat, the device operates in ‘Aura’ mode, a Lenovo-created interface for playing games with friends and family.
And when in its upright position, it runs Microsoft’s Windows 8.
The Horizon is designed for sharing, with a diagonal, ten-point touchscreen that can be laid flat and used by three or more people at a time.
It comes with preloaded games software and an accompanying range of specialised controllers – a joystick attached with a suction cup, strikers that slide like air hockey paddles and an ‘E-dice’ that works with board games such as Monopoly.
The touchscreen also has a one-terabyte internal hard drive. However, the Horizon has received mixed reviews. PCmag.com said that at 18 pounds, the device could hardly be considered a tablet.
“Aside from the novelty, there are few reasons to recommend this system over a traditional all-in-one desktop,” it concluded.
