> ??! There are pictures.
On screen no. 1, there's a picture of sunlight shining through somebody's hand.
On screen no. 2, there might as well be a picture of an iPad with a fancy case.
On screen no. 3, I see that this machine can be operated in desktop mode, but I still know nothing about what makes it special. Is it an Android tablet with an innovative desktop stand?
On screen no. 4, there is a matrix of six little images; two of them finally (and way too late) let me guess the mode of operation.
On screen no. 5, there finally is a clear view of the machine.

This is not about text vs. pictures. What I'm saying is that if you try to advertise a new kind of product to me, you should just go ahead and tell/show me what the point is. When you have done that, show me pictures of sunlight and trees (if you think that's necessary).
- anigbrowl 12y agoI guess I infer things differently from you... 1: a hand, text about creativity, so it's something I can manipulate? 2: it's an electronic device of some kind. 3: it's a computer with some sort of tray instead of a keyboard...? 4: (small pictures of people) oh, that's a second screen of some sort, it looks like there's touchscreen action going on with both screens, and it's some sort of projector? 5: OK, it's definitely some sort of a second screen, that looks like a board game so I suppose it must be interactive and the thing on top is a camera or something 6: Some hipsters I am supposed to identify with but I don't care 7: that top thing looks more elaborate than just a projecter, looks like a Kinect so it's probably a camera and/or motion detector 8: it's on sale now plus that's a pen so it must have pretty decent resolution on the lower part, maybe it's also a tablet 9: Accessories, oh it's called a 'touch mat' 10: I can 'grab' and 'mash' things? OK it's definitely got a camera in it then. All I did was scroll, without clicking on the alternative buttons or + buttons (which turn out to have specs, now that I have tried them). I found it perfectly simple to work out what was going just on the first look. Personally I am OK with having my curiosity stimulated. The 'Tour' thing (in the second section of the page) is self-explanatory, had I clicked on that first.
- lambeosaurus 12y agoYou shouldn't have to infer anything for a new product being announced. This is shoddy marketing on HPs part and makes me feel like they have something to hide. Definitely not tempted to buy this.
