HP's TouchSmart 610-1030uk looks rather generic, but there's plenty to set this modern touchscreen all-in-one apart from the crowd, with a big 23in touchscreen, USB3 ports and a Blu-ray drive. Most of the 610's ports are located at the back, behind a p...

When HP introduced its TouchSmart line of PCs back in 2007, it seemed like we were on the cusp of ushering in a new era of touch screen-based computing. Four years later hardly anything seems to have changed in the desktop domain, though mobile devices...

This is going to be good. I reviewed the first TouchSmart 600 all-in-one home desktop computer in January 2010, and loved it, frankly. I fondly remember Reg Hardware readers expressing their admiration for my gushing praise at the time... That was sarc...

By all rights, I ought to be singing my adoration of this updated HP TouchSmart. It is clearly an improvement on the original 600, with its extreme display angle adjustment, and good audio quality. The touchscreen is exceptional too. However, this tim...

All-in-one desktop PCs used to be relatively rare, but with touchscreen tablets flooding the market, PC makers obviously feel their big brothers should get the same treatment. We recently reviewed the Acer Veriton Z411G and HP's TouchSmart 300-1230. N...

HP's latest in the TouchSmart series is undoubtedly its finest, with a collapsible 'flat' screen, top-notch touchscreen technology and a host of entertainment peripherals adding to a Full HD display - power and graphics could do with a boost, though...

The only people who'll be let down by the newly flexible TouchSmart 610-1030UK will be dedicated gaming fanbois. For everyone else, it is one of the best TouchSmarts HP has built bedecked with the best HD screen HP has used.

The TouchSmart series is the vanguard of touch on the desktop, pre-dating even Surface by years. Yet, despite the extra lead time, HP has still failed to deliver an immersive touch experience; its TouchSmart UI is still suffering from poor multi-t...

The TouchSmart series continues to wither away potential as a viable touch device. Still, the new near-horizontal mode will no doubt grab the attention of those who intend to develop custom apps around it.

For all of the Asus ET2400XVT and Sony VAIO L21's technological innovations – the former with 3D and the latter with gesture control – both of those systems still rely on somewhat unadventurous chassis designs. HP's new TouchSmart 610, by contrast, has on...
