In a bid to reignite stagnant PC sales, the technology company has launched the mouse-free and keyboard-free 'Sprout' computer.

HP has taken a wild step toward re-imagining the personal computer, deleting the keyboard and mouse and merging a 3D scanner and projector to create a super all-in-one device it hopes can rekindle PC sales.

The new desktop computer, called Sprout, being touted as 'unusual', 'futuristic' and 'wild', goes on sale online in the US on Wednesday, costing $US1899.

Like many of its rivals, HP is struggling with a stagnant personal computer business that still makes up half its revenue. HP hopes a new take on the old PC can re-ignite customer interest, though it is careful to play down expectations. Several industry attempts to revive the market, such as ultrathin laptops and all-in-ones, initially failed to catch on.
