    CNET Review

    December 12, 2008

    The Good: Largest screen among mainstream all-in-one PCs; unique touch-based interface; public TouchSmart development kit could expand touch software library; convenient expandable hard-drive bay.

    The Bad: Weak audio output; performs like a $600 desktop; non-VESA-standard wall mount.

It's hard to deny that those features make this a compelling desktop for families with a place to put it. Weak performance hinders its suitability for work, and it's not the best digital entertainment center, but we recommend this system to anyone looking to get in early on the touch-computing experiment.

    Review Summary: HP's newest TouchSmart is bigger and better, yet some quirks remain. If you want a huge touch-screen PC and are prepared to pay a premium, the TouchSmart IQ816 is worth a look.
