hothardware.com — It?s hard to tell that you are looking at a desktop PC--the roughly 1.5-inch thick bezel and front-mounted stereo speakers give the deceptive appearance that you are looking at merely a monitor. If you wanted, you could even wall-mount the system. Also, HP doesn?t just stop with Windows 7 built-in touch features. Here's a look at TouchSmart Apps.

They did a good job for an introduction to touch features, but you could tell the CPU was dragging from the video. Lots of movement stuttering on the screen. Very disappointing. I suspect alot of the touch features and graphics would have been better if they were using the GPU, but that's what you get when you take non-integrated components and slap them together. With a better CPU or more GPU use and a few lessons learned this could be a very nice PC. As it stands, performance is subpar.The narrator was a bit fawning about describing the thing. Very few actual criticisms and lots of glossing over. The movement and zooming stuttering was too obvious not to mention, if the narrator was being honest. You can tell Hot Hardware is too close to the manufacturer to be fully trusted.

Sort of like a racist Haley Joel Osment?

When are they going to start putting oleophobic coating on more electronics? Seriously, that stuff is amazing- fingerprints all over it? wipe it once on your sleeve and they're all gone. It feels a hell of a lot nicer than those stupid skins you get for phones, too, and it doesn't distort the colours, either.

(scared whisper) I don't see black people!Unfortunately my jokes typically need an explanation and if you have to explain the joke... At least you understood it even if it didn't make you laugh so that's a plus 1 for you.Oh well, I do crack me up though

Same when I worked at Best Buy ... we had like a 50% return rate on these. Mostly due to the screens.

Apple's widely expected and wildly speculated iTablet would kill this HP product anyway. iTablet will be faster, much more reliable, with far more sophisticated GUI and will be able to connect on the internet unlike this HP product, which does not even have USB3!

Windows 7 seems to be more and more popular. At <a class="user" href="http://poundthumbsup.com/tag/windows7" rel="nofollow">http://poundthumbsup.com/tag/windows7</a> everyone seems to love it. I remain skeptical.

There are still Atom N270 chips in brand-new netbook designs. :p
