The computer giant is now developing a consumer notebook machine with a touch screen that will debut before year end, said people familiar with the matter. H-P began promoting touch screens last year with a big-screen desktop computer called the TouchSmart. Tablet PCs, or touch-screen laptops, “haven’t done that well” in the past, he added.

H-P’s touch-screen effort is being led by executives such as Phil McKinney, the PC division’s chief technical officer. Mr. McKinney has been working on PC software that masks Microsoft Corp.’s Windows operating system, and has hired the design company Frog Design to help develop new touch software and hardware.

The new touch-screen notebook comes in time for a holiday sales season that’s expected to drag heavily on PC makers. On Tuesday, Gartner said world-wide PC shipments grew 15% in the third quarter. The netbook won’t feature a touch screen. While H-P started selling a touch-screen laptop last year, Mr. Kay said the company put relatively little effort into marketing it.
