HP Touchsmart IQ816: Touchsmart IQ816
05/05/2009
Pros: Excellent touchscreen apps Beautiful exterior with ambient light
Cons: Only slightly above-average performance Merely above-average general performance
Verdict: Functionally speaking, the HP TouchSmart IQ816 is one of the nicest all-in-one PCs we've played with. Though it provides slightly weaker general-purpose performance than do the best all-in-ones (let alone more-inexpensive desktop rigs), it makes up ...
Finding an all-in-one PC that blends awesome functionality, design, and usability in a single, touchscreen-based package is difficult. HP's 25.5-inch TouchSmart IQ816 is pretty plain compared with machines in the desktop market as a whole, but it's an ...

Is the HP TouchSmart IQ816 really smart or does it just have a really misleading name?
HP TouchSmart IQ816
12/12/2008
Pros: 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
Cons: Weak audio output ; performs like a $600 desktop ; non-VESA-standard wall mount

Pros: Large widescreen. Touch-sensitive interface. Blu-ray. 1080p-compatible display. Wireless everything. Speedier than the IQ506. ATSC HDTV tuner. Pocket Media Drive bay
Cons: Short (60-day) subscription to Norton Internet Security. Screen doesn't quite fill the bezel. Blu-ray drive is player only. Some crapware
Verdict: 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.
The HP TouchSmart IQ816 PC ($2,099.99 list) is the big brother of the TouchSmart IQ506, which I reviewed earlier this year. Like its sibling, the IQ816 is an all-in-one PC with a touch screen that can work as its primary interface. The IQ816 has a ...
