It’s called TouchSmart because it allows you to browse through your filesnand applications with a touch of a finger, without the need for peripherals. The new additions are: HP TouchSmart IQ504 and HP TouchSmart IQ506.

As it comes in a thin form factor it occupies very small space on your desk and can be moved very easily, having a lighter weight than standard desktop computers.
There is no other desktop PC so elegant and stylish, and it is powered by some of the latest technologies. “The HP TouchSmart PC is all about reinventing the personal computer experience," said John Cook, vice president of marketing, Worldwide Consumer PC Business, HP.

Some cool functionalities of the 2 new models introduced include TV tuner with video recording, DVD burner, YouTube video upload, high-end stereo speakers, web camera built-in, chat over the Internet, and lots of other things, all controlled via the touchscreen technology.

"The introduction of a touch computer with such a strong focus on digital entertainment opens the door to an entirely new way for consumers to engage with their content," said Stephen Baker, vice president, industry analysis, The NPD Group. "HP TouchSmart PCs will allow people to interact with their photos, videos, music and games in unique ways, plus they do everything that you’d expect from a traditional PC."

Now let’s see more details about their inside components and characteristics!
These slim PCs have adjustable 22-inch high definition widescreen displays and are powered by Intel Core 2 Duo processors. They bring WLAN wireless connectivity, cool keyboards with HP Ambient Light, 4GB memory, card reader, and are available at $1,299 and $1,499.
