Expert review by : Simon Williams (trustedreviews.com)
Starfleet has been doing it for years, so it's about time we all had a go. HP brings touch-screen control to the masses with this all-in-one PC.
At the back are jacks for the integrated 5.1-channel surround sound together with more USB2.0 ports, including one that sits next to a power outlet to accommodate HP’s USB/power printer Y-cable. The latter comes in handy if you own an A510 or A610...

HP goes for the touchscreen approach
Strong features set ; Innovative concept
Extremely heavy ; Quite pricey
An interesting departure from the norm, but its size and weight are a bit of a hindrance

The all-in-one is hardly a new idea, but in terms of modern computing it does appear to be something of an enigma for PC manufacturers. Manufacturers have tried, but it's only really Apple that has managed to make any headway with the idea

The Touchsmart is an all-in-one Vista PC with a touch-sensitive screen – can it outshine its keyboard-and-mouse foes?
Expert review by : Robin Morris and Melissa J Perenson (techadvisor.co.uk)
PCs in their traditional form have become part of the fabric of everyday life. But let's be honest: most of us wish our electronic friends were that bit more intuitive - typing on keyboards and clicking mouse buttons simply doesn't feel natural. It's...
HP is to be commended for the TouchSmart IQ770. A great deal of thought has gone into the integrated design and touchscreen display, and we can see many a family finding it great fun to use. You're paying a significant premium for the touchscreen and...

This must be considered to be a cross between a desktop and a tablet PC with the built in touch screen being the part like a tablet. However overall it is certainly not a mobile offering. The Vista speed rating is 4.6
HP are often at the forefront of design and innovation and while this features several features new to me I am not sure the format is quite right. The comes with lots of memory and a large hard disc but it also is slow to shutdown and very slow to...

According to the famous maxim, a camel is a horse designed by committee, and it's not hard to spot the hand of a committee in the design of the HP TouchSmart IQ770 PC.

Expert review by : Christopher Null (wired.com)
One look at the HP TouchSmart makes a striking impression. As it should, since it's in your kitchen. Reviving the “all-in-one” PC, the TouchSmart is...
Incredible good looks. Cleans up easily. Includes a spot and cables to connect an HP photo printer (without additional footprint). Decent specs: 2 GB of RAM, 320 GB hard drive, beefy graphics card, and slot-loading DVD burner. TV tuner and foot-shaped...
Pokey CPU (1.6 GHz AMD Turion) makes the TouchSmart painfully slow to respond. Windows Vista OS makes for an unhappy (and buggy) companion to sleek TouchSmart software. Screen loses clarity when not viewed straight-on. Minimal upgradeability
