Pros: Svelte new design; large, touch-sensitive display; easy to use, touch-friendly software, a lot of wireless connectivity options; underbody keyboard light.
Cons: Single-point, Windows-based touch looks dated next to multitouch iPhone; slower than other all-in-ones in its price class.

The HP TouchSmart IQ506 PC is sleeker, has a better more intuitive interface, and is faster to boot than its predecessor.
Review Verdict: The HP TouchSmart version 2.0 is a vast improvement over the previous model. It's sleeker, has a better, more intuitive interface, and is faster to boot. A few flaws keep it from the all-in-one crown.

Pros: Elegant space saving design. Speakerbar produces booming lows and clear highs. Bright 22-inch screen hides smudges and fingerprints. Integrated TV tuner adds living room chops. Blazing connectivity via gigabit ethernet and integrated 802.11b/g/n. 500GB ha
Cons: Not the smoothest touch-based interface. Handoffs between TouchSmart/Vista programs are slow and awkward. Very limited upgrade options. Mid-range GPU puts a damper on hardcore gaming. Retractable bezel feels cheap and rickety. Sluggish processor given its
