Reviews of the HP TouchSmart IQ506

CNET Review
The Good: Svelte new design; large, touch-sensitive display; easy to use, touch-friendly software, a lot of wireless connectivity options; underbody keyboard light.
The Bad: Single-point, Windows-based touch looks dated next to multitouch iPhone; slower than other all-in-ones in its price class.
The Bottom Line: HP's new-and-improved TouchSmart all-in-one PC refines the touch-based concept it introduced last year. Faster all-in-ones, and Apple's iPhone, make the TouchSmart seem a bit behind the times, but the convenient software and its kitchen-friendly design offer functionality that's unavailable elsewhere.
