Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • Still a great all-in-one PC
  • Excellent sound
  • GeForce 9300M graphics make things a bit nicer
The bad:
  • TouchSmart interface is becoming dated, potential is being squandered
  • TouchSmart interface is still laggy, despite dedicated graphics
  • Light has been removed from base of PC
The bottomline:

HP's TouchSmart series still works well as an all-in-one solution, but seems to be on auto-pilot at the moment due to a lack of innovation. Here's hoping Windows 7 gives it the injection it needs.

Editors’ rating:

7.8/10

RRP: AU$2799.00
