HP TouchSmart 610 Quad: Premium Performance at a Premium Price HP has a proven track record of producing strong all-in-one PCs, and the TouchSmart 610 Quad is no exception. But with a starting price of $1599, you'll pay dearly for the privilege of owning one. Our review unit ($1849 as of April 27, 2011) included an Intel Core i7-870 quad-core processor running at 2.93GHz, 8GB of DDR3 RAM, 1TB of hard-drive space, and an ATI Radeon HD 5570 graphics card. For such a premium price, we would have preferred that HP include the latest Sandy Bridge processor, but it's still an impressive arsenal for a 23-inch all-in-one desktop--and after a thorough review, we have the performance scores to prove it. We ran the TouchSmart 610 Quad through a gauntlet of performance tests in the PCWorld Labs, and the results show that this PC has hardware beefy enough to handle light office work, streaming media, and heavy-duty gaming with aplomb. The 610 Quad earned a score of 135 in our WorldBench 6 benchmark suite, trumping its predecessor (the TouchSmart 600 Quad, with a paltry score of 104) as well as the top performer in the category (the Gateway ZX6951-53, with a mark of 121), making it one of the fastest all-in-one PCs we've tested so far.
HP has already demonstrated its commitment to touch-based all-in-one PCs by putting great effort behind its TouchSmart software suite. With the new TouchSmart 610, showcased here with the $1,789 TouchSmart 610q 1065qd, HP embraces touch computing even further. Boasting an impressively adjustable stand, this 24-inch all-in-one offers immense flexibility in terms of how you interact with it. Round out that versatility with fast performance, robust features, and a competitive price, and the TouchSmart 610q 1065qd is the new high-end, home entertainment-oriented all-in-one to beat. There's a lot to like about the TouchSmart 610, but the most interesting feature is its stand. Capable of tilting the display backward 60 degrees, the stand gives the TouchSmart unparalleled adjustability for an all-in-one, resulting in easier, more intuitive interaction with the touch interface. We wouldn't go so far as to call the tilting screen revolutionary (or, for that matter, "magical"). You still have to adjust for the tiny text and other quirks of Windows application designs that don't have touch input in mind. The tilted design might also lead to more disappointment when apps you might be familiar with from your smartphone or tablet don't support multitouch gestures, when you go visit Google Maps in your browser, for example.
