Video Feature: Hands-On with the HP TouchSmart IQ500 PC

Forget Windows 7, HP is already there! Andy goes hands-on with HP's new TouchSmart PC.

Hidden around the edges and the back is a wealth of connectivity, too. On the left edge are a couple of easily accessible USB ports, along with headphone and microphone jacks. These are joined by a button that (de)activates the ambient light that...

HP TouchSmart IQ500

The next generation of touchscreen PCs is here: but can HP make it catch on?

And there is, indeed, something futuristic about the IQ500 – HP’s latest TouchSmart computer. It’s an all-in-one unit: about 5in thick at the back (although designed to look much slimmer from the front and side angles), containing the whole shebang

HP TouchSmart PC IQ500

Give your PC the finger

TouchSmart interface is fun and easy to use, great screen, good speed

No ExpressCard slot, three USB ports are in an awkward position at the rear, no Blu-ray player

A relatively new-breed PC with an intuitive touch-screen interface that would be just as useful in an office as in a home environment.

HP TouchSmart IQ500t

The 22-inch TouchSmart 500t is essentially a faster, slimmed-down version of the 25.5-inch HP TouchSmart IQ816. Both all-in-one PCs are multitouch capable, as is the 18.5-inch Dell Studio One 19. Multitouch aside, the $1650 500t's closest competitor in...

Beautiful touchscreen ; Great general performance

Glossy screen can be overly reflective ; Upgradability limited to two areas

A vibrant multitouch display and excellent general performance make the IQ500t a competitive all-in-one option.
