Full 1080p Touchscreen Display

Forget the iPad and all of the other touchscreen tablets that are currently filling up electronics retailer store shelves, the HP TouchSmart 610 is where it is at '" and it's full 1080p touchscreen puts your tablet to shame.

The 23" display of this all-in-one touchscreen PC is vibrant, glossy, and makes doing regular tasks like browsing the web, watching movies, and playing games seem like an all-new experience.

More Viewing Angles

In addition to looking "pretty", the HP TouchSmart 610 also has another trick up its sleeve; its view Slider mechanism.

Regardless of how you're standing or positioned in the room, the Slider technology built into the HP TouchSmart 610 will make sure that you're fully able to view its beautiful 1080p display.

The Hardware

If you thought the external features of the HP TouchSmart 610 were awesome, the internal hardware will blow you away. The Touchmart 610 series features many models, but simply comparing it to the popular 610-1190 model will reveal that HP held back no punches with its Intel Core i7 processor (3.4GHz), 23" display, 8GB RAM, 1.5TB hard drive, and NVIDIA GeForce GT 445M graphics card. With all of the powerful hardware under the hood, this all-in-one computer is bound to be able to handle anything from multitasking, gaming, high definition video, and more.

TouchSmart 4.0 Software

When it comes to touchscreen devices, software is equally as important as software, and this TouchSmart desktop has both in spades. TouchSmart 4.0 is an interactive touchscreen desktop platform that features lots of fun and easy to use widgets including a web browser, music player, notes, cooking recipes, and lots of other touchscreen widgets that can be downloaded from HP's website.

Best Price For What It Does

$1,499 might seem like a lot of money [okay, it is], but compared to the HP TouchSmart 610's competition, it checks out as a pretty fair price. The 27" iMac will cost you $1,699, Gateway and Dell offer touchscreen AiO computers but none compare in specs, and although Toshiba's DX1215 priced at $930 seems like a nice price, it's inferior in display size, processing speed, RAM, graphics, design, and software.
