We Have Mentioned 3D Printers,

and objects made by them before,

 not that we need one but if we did I would be tempted by this offering from HP it is it's new Sprout PC, combining an AiO PC with some 3D imaging magic from Intel, the Sprout will convert any small object you have into a digital model, the RealSense camera, in conjunction with HP's software, allows one to make fully 3D models of any smallish object one has on hand, the recently announced 3D Capture Stage accessory auto-rotates and tilts said object during a scan, the digitised models can then be manipulated on the Sprout's touch mat, shared with others using an online app, or printed out using an attached 3D printer, the Sprout also points a 14.6-megapixel 2D camera at its touch mat, for boring 2D imaging, along with a 1-megapixel front webcam for selfies, an Adonit Jot Pro stylus is also included for virtual drawing,

but how will the computer cope with the workload? not to worry, it has Intel's Core i7-4790S CPU and Nvidia's GeForce GT 745A discrete graphics to run the show, backed by 8GB of RAM and a 1TB hybrid hard drive, the device's 23", 1920x1080-pixel display is itself a touchscreen, with 10-point multitouch also included are four USB ports, WiFi, Bluetooth, and gigabit Ethernet are all also provided, the system runs Windows 8.1; HP will need to see if it runs on Windows 10, but looking around the PC seems to be about $1,899, whilst the scanner is about $299, now how far away is Christmas?
