Product Review
Price: $999.99 - $999.99

Specs: Intel Core 2 Duo T5850 (2.16 GHz), 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM, 500 GB Standard, NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS, EPEAT Silver, Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit Edition, Personal computer

The Good: Svelte new design; large, touch-sensitive display; easy to use, touch-friendly software, a lot of wireless connectivity options; underbody keyboard light.

The Bad: Single-point, Windows-based touch looks dated next to multitouch iPhone; slower than other all-in-ones in its price class.

The Bottom Line: HP's new-and-improved TouchSmart all-in-one PC refines the touch-based concept it introduced last year. Faster all-in-ones, and Apple's iPhone, make the TouchSmart seem a bit behind the times, but the convenient software and its kitchen-friendly design offer functionality that's unavailable elsewhere.
