Also known as the Crossfire , the HP TouchSmart IQ770 featured a 19 inch touchscreen, an AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-52 processor, NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600. It had a wide array of ports, including Ethernet, two FireWire, six USB 2.0 ports, one with HP printer power Y-cable connector, 5.1 + digital audio out, IR out, mini-VGA, FM coax, TV coax, ATSC, and two S-Video; however, the IQ770 did not have HDMI ports. PC World gave the machine a very good rating of 81/100, but noted that the use of mobile components slowed the computer[3]
On June 10, 2008, HP unveiled their new HP TouchSmart IQ500 series. The series featured a 22-inch widescreen touchscreen display, an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, a 500GB disk, 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 9300 M HS HD graphics, and 802.11n WiFi, along with an Energy Star qualification.[4] The new TouchSmart featured a sleeker 2 inch profile in a piano-black finish.[5]
Although, HP is not the first manufacturer who has created the all in one desktop computer, they have definitely innovated the technology. I think that with time the idea of the touch screen computer will take off and other manufacturers will create their own version of the HP TouchSmart computer.
The HP TouchSmart computer desktop is completely touch screen. You can run Windows Vista on the computer using your finger or the stylus. The HP TouchSmart computer features regular day to day applications, such as the default calender, photo editing applications, and basic weather display. You will also have Post-Its that you can leave on your desktop and drag around with the date and time on the calender.
