HP boasts of putting our digital life at our fingertips through their latest offering – the TouchSmart PC.

Media manipulation on PC’s isn’t anything new – uploading home videos, editing photos and listening to music have been staples of most home PC’s for several years. Touchscreen technology has also enjoyed considerable interest, in light of Apple’s iPhone. Mix them together and package them as a “total home PC” and you’ve got yourself a winner.

HP’s TouchSmart PCs come with a 22-inch diagonal hi-def widescreen display powered with a “software designed specifically for touch.”  A tap or sweep at the sleek piano-black finished screen gives ready access to hands-on digital entertainment.

With an Intel Core 2 Duo processor powering the device’s single integrated design, the TouchSmart PC is an ideal, unobtrusive apparatus perfect for the living room as a media center, a digital hobby nexus in the den, a workstation in the home office and even a personal portal in the bedroom. 

With a one-cord set up, wireless keyboard, and integrated WLAN, it just reinforces a hassle-free computing experience. HP’s Ambient Light technology also allows users to see the keyboard in the dark.

The TouchSmart PC comes with an integrated DVD burner, optional TV tuner, 4GB of memory and a built-in media card reader. The base model HP TouchSmart IQ504 PC is expected to tap a $1,299 price tag while those who want the TV-tuner equipped IQ506 PC need to shell out an additional $200.
