HP intros larger TouchSmart all-in-one PCs, the IQ804 and IQ816


HP Touchsmart IQ804, IQ816

It was only a couple of months ago when HP released the first two models of the TouchSmart all-in-one PC, the 22 inch IQ504 and IQ506. Upon introduction of their TouchSmart line, HP received some negative feedback.  In particular, some wanted a bigger screen and a more powerful PC.  HP has responded by releasing two bigger models, the IQ804 and IQ816 TouchSmart PCs.

With these two new models, HP has increased the LCD sizes of these PC’s from 22 inches to 25.5 inches with 1900x1200 resolution.  At this resolution, you can watch full HD content at 1080P.  The high-end IQ816 boasts an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, NVIDIA GeForce 9600M video card, an illuminating keyboard, VESA wall mount capability, hardware-encoded TV tuner, four digitally-amplified speakers and a Blu-ray drive.  The IQ804 has all the features of the IQ816 except for the Blu-ray drive.

Both the HP IQ804 and IQ816 belong to the new HP IQ800 series all-in-one TouchSmart PC series which is being touted to deliver a new level of home-theater entertainment. HP will start shipping the IQ804 on October with an SRP of $2100 and the IQ816 on September 21 with an SRP of $1900.
