HP TouchSmart IQ770 PC
PCs in their traditional form have become part of the fabric of everyday life. But let's be honest: most of us wish our electronic friends were that bit more intuitive - typing on keyboards and clicking mouse buttons simply doesn’t feel natural. It's for that reason that machines such as the HP TouchSmart IQ770 could be the future.

It’s not only the first HP Touchsmart product to feature a touchscreen display. It's actually the first proper consumer PC we’ve seen that offers such a feature. In fact, the interface is so carefully designed that you can perform a number of everyday PC functions by just using your finger - you don't need to touch the keyboard or mouse at all. See Keep in touch, below.
Style…



No matter where you put the HP TouchSmart PC, its striking looks will stand out. The piano-black unit has silver accents and a graceful, Z-angled cabinet, and there’s even room for you to stow away the keyboard and mouse when not in use. You can also dramatically reposition the screen itself to find the ideal viewing angle.
The unit’s many extras include a 1.3Mp (megapixel) webcam and microphone (perfect for voice over IP), a memory card reader, analogue and digital TV tuners and connectivity options for Bluetooth, 802.11a/b/g and Gigabit Ethernet. The slot-loading DVD writer even has LightScribe disc-printing facilities.
An HP photo printer dock is situated on the base behind the display, while the upward angle of the base holds a bay for HP’s Pocket Media Drives - these will set you back £100 for 80GB or £130 for 120GB and enable you to carry your data around with you. This seems to us a perfect way of easily moving audio and video content from one location to another.
One slight concern is that there’s no HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface). This seems like an oversight, since this could clearly double up as a next-generation TV.
…over substance
Predictably, perhaps, the TouchSmart PC is more about overall presentation than performance, and those looking for a powerhouse PC will find that it lacks basic speed. Equipped with 2GB of memory, a 1.6GHz Turion 64 X2 TL-52 mobile processor and an integrated nVidia GeForce Go 7600 graphics chip, the system produces only average performance when set alongside comparably priced systems. Then again, you really should expect to get less performance for your money when you consider the sheer convenience and usability of the touchscreen technology.
Internally, the HP has far more in common with laptops than with desktop PCs, which means it will be difficult to upgrade. This could be a problem in a few years’ time, and is worth bearing in mind. But for the time being, the TouchSmart’s performance is adequate, and you’re unlikely to feel the need to tinker.
And at least the graphics controller is very solid, producing acceptable framerates in our games tests, even if the TouchSmart's performance wouldn't approach that of a standard £1,200 PC.
Keep in touch
The Touchsmart's 19in widescreen display functions as both a viewing screen and a navigation tool. Though you perhaps won't want to rely solely on the touchscreen when you're sitting at a desk, it provides a highly responsive alternative to traditional mouse navigation. The screen is extremely robust, and its surface can be wiped clean within seconds, so you don't need to worry about punching a hole in the glass, or getting the screen dirty. And, since the TouchSmart is a hefty beast, neither do you need to worry about knocking it off the table.
In our view, the touchscreen contributes vitally to the product’s adaptability to a wide range of environments in the home, from queuing up media content in the living room to accessing recipes in the kitchen. And usefully, you also have the choice of a well-weighted stylus, should you prefer to use a pen rather than a finger.
Verdict
HP is to be commended for the TouchSmart IQ770. A great deal of thought has gone into the integrated design and touchscreen display, and we can see many a family finding it great fun to use. You're paying a significant premium for the touchscreen and all-in-one design - this is about usability rather than overall performance. The lack of upgradeability is also a potential problem. Nonetheless, this could well be the future of the PC. As such, we highly recommend that you give it a try.

User Review: HP Touchsmart IQ772

I have got the HP Touchsmart PQ IQ772 which is the latest of the touch smart computers with the slightly better processor, better hard drive and upgraded graphics. I agree the keyboard is not very good but I was always intending on getting a new keyboard so that did not matter. HP Touchsmart IQ, The mouse is ok but I already had a great mouse. The touch screen is brilliant and works perfectly. The computer looks neat and smart, the CD drive works great and the litescribe is brilliant. I sometimes contact HP by email and they always reply within 24 hours and are very kind and understanding and try to help with anything they can. I will say one thing, for the money paid the performance could be better, I don't understand why they could not put a better processor in it. Apart from that I am pleased with the computer.

Guide For: HP TouchSmart IQ770

Links products as : http://astore.amazon.com/buy-hp-touchsmart-pc-20

We first spotted the new HP TouchSmart IQ770 PC concept at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year. Touted as the perfect companion to your home’s kitchen or office, the HP TouchSmart IQ770 features an innovative touch screen display that you can use either with your finger, or the included stylus. When compared to other systems from a pure design perspective, the HP TouchSmart IQ770 definitely screams PC rather than art, the Sony VAIO W series or Apple iMac are both much better looking systems. HP doesn’t even try to hide the DVD drive or media card reader, and there are more stickers on the system than a Volkswagen Vanagon at Woodstock. However, to most people the piano black finish is a good enough reason to give the system prominent placement in the home. The keyboard and mouse are both minimalistic enough to be left out in the open as well. Upon inspection you will notice that the keyboard lacks any sort of riser prongs and slopes downward towards the top of the keyboard. The mouse has an attractive, yet rugged look and feel to it. Both the keyboard and mouse lack any sort of media keys short of a volume control, leaving those functions to the remote control. It would have been smart to at least include some programmable shortcut media keys on the keyboard. As it stands, you must basically have all three peripherals nearby for any sort of use from a distance.

HP TouchSmart - Built around an AMD Turion X2 TL-52 mobile processor, the IQ770 comes with 2GB of DDR2 RAM, a 320GB hard drive, Nvidia GeForce Go 7600 256MB graphics adapter, slot loading lightscribe DVD writer, and 19” LCD display. What we think really makes this system stand out though is the integrated pocket media bay so you can add even more storage space, the 1.3 megapixel camera, coaxial digital out and the integrated NTSC and ATSC TV tuners. Other features include integrated 802.11 a/b/g WiFi, 5.1 audio out, FireWire and 4 USB inputs, and an 8-in-1 media card reader. Video inputs for both the ATSC (HDTV) and NTSC tuners are on the side of the system, and can look rather cluttered with all of the cables connected to it. The TouchSmart IQ770 really includes just about every bell and whistle we could think of, short of a next generation DVD player.

Last, but not least, you have the touch enabled 19” LCD display with a 16:10 aspect ratio. Either way you look at it, the touch screen really is the crown jewel of the whole system. You can decide not to use it, and lower the screen font size to a setting that you choose, but we recommend making the best of it and using the touch screen to its full potential. The LCD screen is attached to the rest of the system, but still retains a minimal neck that allows you to tilt and adjust its height, although it cannot swivel.

HP TouchSmart -Software preinstalled on the TouchSmart IQ770 includes Microsoft Vista Home Premium Edition, HP’s SmartCenter and Calendar system, Roxio Creator for burning and archiving data, muvee autoProducer for creating home videos on DVD (Microsoft Windows Vista also has this feature built-in), Microsoft Works 8, Adobe Reader 7.0, Norton Internet Security 2006 (60-day trial), and preinstalled ISP services such as AOL and EarthLink. The TouchSmart IQ770 comes with a one-year parts and labor warranty on the hardware, and a 90 day warranty on the software.
