Sproutby HP
PROS
- The built-in projector/scanner offers both document and 3D scanning. The optional 3D stage makes full 3D scanning possible.
- The touch pad offers both 20-point touch input and doubles as a second display in addition to the 23-inch touch screen on the computer.
- The Sprout comes standard with stylus and a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
CONS
- Few apps currently take advantage of the Sprout's full capabilities.
- The touch mat requires a lot of desk space, and it has no angle or height adjustment
- 3D scanning is flaky and unreliable unless you use the optional 3D stage, which adds about $300 to the cost.
