The Amazing HP TouchSmart PC

Well, I saw an ad on yahoo yesterday of HP’s (Hewlett Packard) newest computer, It actually gave me a tingly feeling deep down like little puppies.  Its their HP TouchSmart PC, and I think one word can explain it perfectly and that’s Amazing.

I decided to do abit of research on it and I’m now saving up to get one of my own. You can say its all a matter of opinion here cause some may just hate the idea of a powerful touch screen PC, who would? I haven’t a clue, maybe a Mac fan? Anyway, theirs gonna be 4 different models, 1of them (the IQ816) is only available for preorder as of now but its worth the wait as its going to have a Blue-ray player and HP’s “pocket media.”

They all have the sleek design and either a 22″ or 25.5″ diagonal hi-def wide-screen. They work have an Intel Core 2 Duo processor (from the 2GHz to the 2.16GHz depending on the model) and work on Windows Vista with Service Pack 1. They have the large hard drives to match the awesomeness, the hard drives range from a 320 GB at 7200 rpm all the way to a 500 GB at 7200 rpm depending on the model and they all have 4GB of system memory.

As for the graphics card you can choose from the Integrated graphics on the lower end models or spend some more and go for the one that has the NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS HDwith 256MB of dedicated memory. Also just like all those other computers you get a ton of preloaded programs some useful others not so much.

You can actually mount three of the models to the wall but that doesn’t really make too much sense unless you want to use it as a tv then take it off to use the touchscreen. Some other cool things would have to be the colored (switches with a touch of a button) ambient light and the wireless peripherals. Ohh, for all you “Green People” this thing is extremely energy efficient.

Im gonna hold out and get the model to be released in the next month or so and spend the extra money for the Blue-ray player.
