    Stunning piece of computer that can sit proudly in any family room

    The good: All-in-one computer with a nice user interface.

    The bad: Should also include a digital TV tuner built-in.

Overview

The good:
  • Nice screen
  • Decent speakers
  • Simple set-up
  • Touch interface is fun to use
The bad:
  • Integrated Intel graphics
  • So much touchscreen potential left untapped
The bottomline:

The second generation TouchSmart as just a panel PC is gorgeous. The AU$1,999 price is fantastic as well — but we can't help but feel that there's so much more potential in the touchscreen aspect being left, ahem, untapped.

Editors’ rating:

8/10

RRP: AU$1999.00
