Featuring two-touch intuitive gesture technology the TouchSmart PC offers a fun and easy to navigate user interface in a stylish form factor. A finger tapped or swept across the high-resolution screen delivers quick access to information, entertainment and 'post-it' notes. Without a keyboard or mouse, consumers can play music, create playlists, zoom in or out of photos and quickly check the weather or watch TV.

Requiring only one power cord to set up, the IQ500 combines a 22-inch diagonal high-definition widescreen display with a powerful, energy-efficient Intel Core 2 Duo processor in a single, integrated design.

When users want to work on long documents, the wireless keyboard and integrated WLAN offer a truly wireless experience, and the adjustable screen tilts up and down for maximum comfort. The HP Ambient Light lets consumers set a mood and see the keyboard in the dark.

With a strong focus on digital entertainment, consumers can watch and record TV, burn personal videos with the built-in DVD burner, upload videos to YouTube, enjoy high-quality sound with the integrated premium stereo speakers and keep in touch through the built-in webcam and microphone. Other features include 4 gigabytes of memory, a media card reader and a large-capacity high-speed hard drive.

HP TouchSmart IQ500 Series PC: starting RRP of $1,999 (inc. GST); available July.
