The First Ever Touchscreen Computer?

#retro #retrocomputing #oldpc #HP-150 #touchscreen

The HP-150 was the worlds first. A commercially available touch screen MS-DOS computer from 1983.

HP wanted desperately to differentiate themselves from the rest of the growing home computer market, so did something that no one else had though of to this point - they made it so that the user interacted with the display via touch.

I hope you enjoy this video, I certainly enjoyed making it.
