 Hi, this is Peter Bohn with The Verge and we are looking at tech based on Synaptics new touchpad chip with the ClearPad 7300 which, why this matters is it's able to read up to 10 fingers at a time which is nothing new but it can do that while still maintaining a refresh rate of 100 Hz so it's much more accurate. The other thing that's interesting about the 7300 is they managed to do all that on a single chip whereas previously it had taken 15 so what you're looking at here is actually an HP touchpad and they ripped out the old board that had 15 chips they put in the new 7300 which is one and they were able to do all of this. Synaptics is also making a big push on Windows 8 they are showing off the way that they can do gestures on trackpads and their palm rest control so they can ignore palms while still reading up to 5 fingers at a time and also drawing on the trackpad so that's what Synaptics had to show off at CES 2012.
