    CNET Review

    June 25, 2008

    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.

    Review Summary: Enter the HP TouchSmart computer with its touch-sensitive screen, now relaunched as two models. We tried the IQ506, the same size as the IQ504 but with slightly higher processor specs

    Review Summary: Sleek, classy all-in-one PC gets points for design, but it lacks the same wow in its performance.
