Reviews of the HP TouchSmart IQ770

    CNET Review

    January 7, 2007

    The Good: Takes advantage of Windows Vista's touch screen capability with useful, easy-to-use software; combines with HP printers to become an at-home photo kiosk; contains all of the features you've come to expect from a modern digital media-oriented home PC.

    The Bad: Pokey performance for systems in its price range; fixed configuration; no HD optical drive option.

    The Bottom Line: HP's new TouchSmart PC IQ770 is not as fast as Apple's iMac, nor does it have the same clean-lined elegance. It makes up for those problems with intuitive touch screen software you'll actually use and a comprehensive lineup of features. If you're looking for a home PC to organize your family's schedule, or serve up media in a kitchen or another small room, we know of no other system suited so well for the task.

    Review Summary: The supplied TV card worked well and tuning within the media centre part of Vista was straightforward of course you do need to be close to a coaxial aerial. Of course there is a supplied remote control. The slot loading DVD supplied is LightScribe and ...
