HP TouchSmart 600

The HP TouchSmart 600 shows how getting an early jump on unproven technology can pay off. HP was first to market with a touch-based all-in-one PC more than two years ago. Now that Windows 7 has spurred almost every major desktop vendor toward multitouch, HP has the advantage of years...

HP TouchSmart tx2z Tablet PC - 2.4 GHz, 400GB HD, 4GB RAM

The HP TouchSmart tx2z stands alone as a rare example of a consumer-focused convertible tablet PC. We're not sure if this is because non-business-related laptop users don't see the value of a touch-screen tablet, but hopefully they'll catch on soon. The tx2z is an evolution of HP's previous tx1000...

Sony Vaio LV180J

By its updated chassis, it's tempting to think of the $1,999 Sony Vaio LV180J as a more productivity-oriented PC than Sony's previous all-in-one effortss. Supported by a pedestal stand, the LV180J no longer looks like a screen suspended in air, as was the case with the older Vaio LT19U. A...

Sony Vaio L117FX (Core 2 Quad Q8400s 2.66GHz, 6GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Windows 7 Home Premium)

Had Apple not introduced a 27-inch iMac for $1,699, we'd have fewer reservations about Sony asking $1,999 for its new 24-inch Vaio L117FX. Yes, HP's TouchSmart 600 expanded on some of Sony's innovations from its previous generation all-in-ones. Sony also doesn't even attempt to match HP's creative multitouch software. But...

Will Windows 7 have the right touch?

The touch interface has arrived on smartphones, thanks largely to the iPhone. But it hasn't found much mainstream success on the PC despite years of trying.

Is this Barnes & Noble's secret e-book reader?

The other big question:How big? If it's paperback size, as most of the ones now out are, then it's too small to do serious readers (science, business reports, financial tables, CAD/CAM drawings, etc.) any good.
