Meet the new HP TouchSmart PC. According to HP, the TouchSmart 'combines a 22" diagonal hi-def widescreen with a powerful energy efficient Intel Core 2 Duo Processor (T5750 and T5850, running at 2.00GHz and 2.16GHz, respectively) in a single, integrated design.' It has an integrated built-in TV tuner, a built-in webcam and microphone and integrated high-performance premium 2.0 speakers. The wireless keyboard possesses an ambient light mode allowing you to set the mood while browsing and more importantly, this all-in-one design makes accommodation for the essentials - a slot-loading Super-Multi DVD-R/RW burner, a 5-in-1 integrated memory card reader and 802.11b/g/n wireless LAN and bluetooth.



Though the Touchsmart looks sexy and intuitive, a major drawback I see is the numerous smudges and fingerprints; if you're like me, that's going to be a major pet peeve. This is a great computer for students and first-timers, but for the computer enthusiasts, this is bound to be disappointing. The system doesn't allow for an easy upgrade and the video cards for the two models range from mediocre to good. For the prices ($1250, model IQ504 and $1450, model IQ506 (see bestbuy.com)) a better computer can be built.
