News from NRF: HP Unveils Touch-enabled POS

This week, HP introduced a touch-enabled point-of-sale (POS) system for retailers seeking to cost-effectively manage their businesses.

The HP ap5000 All-in-One POS System features a self-contained combination of products that removes the guesswork for operators wanting to create a comprehensive POS hardware solution. The compact system maximizes work space and includes a central processing unit, touch-enabled display, magnetic stripe reader and either a two-line customer display or a 10.4-inch LCD customer display to enhance promotional activities.

The ap5000's space-saving design requires only one power outlet, reducing cable clutter and making it ideal for operators requiring a sleek design for customer-facing areas, such as hospitality and specialty retail environments.

Pricing for the HP ap5000 All-in-One POS System is available through HP partners; the solution is expected to be available worldwide in late March.
