HP TouchSmart IQ816 review

 

Above all else, we have to credit HP for taking a risk with its TouchSmart all-in-one PCs. No other Windows desktop vendor has ventured into the relatively uncharted touch-based waters, and any future developments in touch on the desktop will likely...

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.

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

No other all-in-one PC can offer touch-based input or an LCD screen as large as that of the HP TouchSmart IQ816. 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...

HP TouchSmart IQ816

 

With the IQ816, HP has super-sized its TouchSmart all-in-one PC, which makes a fine addition to the kitchen, den, or bedroom.

Large widescreen. Touch-sensitive interface. Blu-ray. 1080p-compatible display. Wireless everything. Speedier than the IQ506. ATSC HDTV tuner. Pocket Media Drive bay.

Short (60-day) subscription to Norton Internet Security. Screen doesn't quite fill the bezel. Blu-ray drive is player only. Some crapware.

HP Touchsmart IQ816

 

Even with a higher-resolution screen, the TouchSmart IQ816 is noticeably more responsive than the IQ506. The TouchSmart interface works just like the touch interface on the iPod touch and iPhone: You simply tap the screen with your finger. You can...

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.

HP TouchSmart IQ816

 

Is the HP TouchSmart IQ816 really smart or does it just have a really misleading name?

HP's new entertainment PC, the HP TouchSmart IQ816, features a gorgeous 25.5-inch touchscreen, a trendy case design and an integrated Blu-ray player, all of which make it a good choice for a secondary home entertainment center. Unfortunately, the PC...
