Our spaces are getting smaller and smaller these days. We definitely love gadgets or computers that can save lots of space for us. The HP TouchSmart all-in-one PC is also one of the great space savers that we need.
The HP TouchSmart all-in-one PC is unlike any desktop PC that we’ve been used to, which doesn’t come with a computer tower. It’s got only a monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse. You’ll be wondering where the guts of the PC have gone to? They shall be housed under the monitor. The monitor shall be little thicker than any average LCD monitor in order to store the processor, the RAM and various other components and peripherals.
HP says the TouchSmart all-in-one PC is designed to resemble a messenger bag. The monitor of this HP all-in-one PC is also touch-sensitive, which allows you to use your fingers to operate a handful of menus on the screen without using the keyboard and the mouse. It comes with software that allows users to make play lists, watch TV, check email etc.
Two versions are available for the TouchSmart PC. The IQ504 PC is the one that comes without a TV tuner, which carries a price tag of $1299. The IQ506 PC comes with TV tuner, which is self-contained media center that costs you about $1500. Both feature the same 22-inch screen, piano-black finish, Intel Core 2 Dup processor, web cam etc. And the best is the entire PC needs only one power cord.

Doesn’t some form of Mac already do the whole “built into the monitor” thing?
I don’t own a Mac, or want to… so I couldn’t say for sure, but I’m pretty sure this isn’t “unlike any desktop PC that we’ve been used to”. Even if it doesn’t exist in shiny-white-’n'-smooth Mac form, someone must already be doing this.
