Touch me not?

This all-in-one offering from HP is not your ordinary run-of-the-mill PC. This sleek device is more a gadget than a PC and features a 22-inch touchscreen. This means you get to interact with it in more ways than just your mouse and keyboard. The piece we got had Window 7 and a set of touch applications that form part of the TouchPack.

While it gets full points for coolness, touch becomes cumbersome when used as your primary method of input. Issues such as arm fatigue and finger prints on the screen do creep up. The build quality is solid ? the wireless key-board features pseudo isolated keys, while the mouse looks surprisingly like the magic mouse from Apple. It also comes with an MCE remote, so you can operate it from a few feet away. There is slot loading dual layer DVD writer optical drive on the side. Of course a hoard of ports lies underneath a removable panel at the back, including LAN, SPDIF and TVin. The audio quality of the speakers is quite decent, very suitable for personal listening.

As for the internals, it features Intel?s Core 2 Duo T6600 2.20 GHz processor with 4 GB RAM. The GeForce 9300M GS graphics solution is more than enough for running touch apps and playing HD video. However, serious gaming is out of the question. Our standard benchmarks for PCs revealed a decent performance. It?s overpriced but if you want a conversation piece you might want to opt for it.
